A Bird with two heads- A rare story from Panchatantra 

This short story from Panchatantra teaches us that when we live together we have to adjust and live harmoniously with each other. 

      Once there was a Bharunda bird with a single body but two heads. One day one of the heads got a fruit and started eating it. It said that it had never eaten such a delicious fruit before. At this, the second head asked it to give him too a little to relish. But the first head said, "We both have the same stomach. Hence if I eat it's enough. Our stomach gets satisfied. Let's give the rest of the fruit to our wife. "

      The second head just kept quite. The first head then gave the remaining fruit to the wife who ate it,felt very happy and hugging and kissing him,spoke sweet words with him the whole day. The second head felt very bad at this and waited for an opportunity to take revenge on the first head. Then one day the second head found a poisonous fruit and picking it up told  the first head,"O cruel one who neglects others! Now I shall eat this poisonous fruit! "

  The first head told him in anguish, "O fool! Don't do so for both of us will die! "

   But the second head ate it up, and both of them died!
