-Ek baar ki baat hai, ek nanhi si chirriya thi jiska naam Chinki tha. Chinki bohot pyaari thi aur uski chonch choti aur rang-birangi thi. Har subah Chinki udaan bharti aur naye-naye sthal dhoondhne nikal jaati thi.Ek din Chinki ne dekha ki aasman mein kale badal chha gaye hain. Usne socha, “Aaj baarish hone wali hai, mujhe apna naya basera dhoondhna chahiye!”Woh ud kar ek bada sa ped dhoondhne lagi jahan woh baarish se bach sake. Magar sab ped bade aur ghane thay, aur Chinki ko unmein basera nahi mil raha tha. Phir usne dekha ek bada sa chhata pehne hue badal ko. Chinki ne kaha, “Bhaiya Badal, kya aap mujhe apni chhatri mein chhupa loge?”Badal haskar bola, “Agar tum itni chhoti si ho, toh mere paas kyon nahi aa sakti? Aaja, meri chhatri ke neeche aa jao!”Chinki khushi se us badal ke neeche aa gayi aur baarish ke boonde uske paron par bhi nahi giri. Usne badal bhaiya ka dhanyavaad kiya aur bola, “Aapne mujhe baarish se bacha liya!”Us raat Chinki ne badal bhaiya ke saath milke rang-birangi bijliyon aur pyaare paani ke geet gaaye. Woh bohot khush thi aur usne sikha ki doston ki madad aur apna sahas kabhi nahi chhodna chahiye.Agle din, jab baarish ruk gayi, Chinki ne badal bhaiya se alvida kaha aur phir se naye sthal ki khoj mein udan bhari, apne dil mein dher saari yaadein lekar.Doston ki madad se mushkilein aasan ho jaati hain aur hum sab ek dusreke bina adhoore hain.
