One day, Krish, the farmer sat in an ambush near their home. Pari and Popo came to peck the seeds below the banyan tree. Krish suddenly grabbed Pari, put her in a cage and took her away. Pari began to make loud noises, wanting to be free. Popo got angry and started screeching at Krish.
Jerry squirrel who was on the tree, saw all this and suggested, "Popo, follow this farmer and see where he lives. It will be dark soon. Tomorrow morning, we will find a way to free Pari."
Popo liked Jerry's advice and flew behind the farmer. Suddenly, Krish stopped in front of a small, dilapidated house. In the courtyard of the house, there were Mango, Neem, and Ashoka trees.
Krish opened the door and entered the house. In the room, a little girl was lying on a cot, crying out in pain.
Popo couldn't find a way to enter the room, so he sat on a tree in the courtyard and kept screeching. But when Pari didn't come out, he became sad and returned to his home on the banyan tree.
When Krish entered the room, Pari saw the sick girl lying on the cot. The farmer then said to the girl, "Look Aradhya, what have I brought for you?"
Aradhya looked over her blanket and saw Pari. She was happy and sat up and said, "Oh Papa, you are so good. You have brought a cute friend for me. Give the cage to me so I can meet her."
Aradhya took the cage in her hands and said, "My dear friend, where were you until now? I will love you very much. Don't go anywhere leaving me."
On hearing this, Krish quickly said, "Aradhya, no matter what, do not open the door of the cage, otherwise this parrot will fly away."
Pari was sad to hear that the door to her freedom was closed. Now she would have to live the life of a prisoner.
