    Jatayu, a small eagle, was flying high in the sky, heading home after a long day. However, his peaceful journey was brutally interrupted by a sudden pain in his right wing.

    He struggled to stay aloft, but his wing was burning with agony. Fear gripped him as he spiraled down, crashing into a hill. Unconscious, he lay there, alone and injured.

    Days passed as Jatayu lay on the hill, helpless and isolated. His body grew weaker and his hope faded. His world was a haze of pain and despair.

    The gentle touch of rain stirred him from his unconscious state. He woke to find his wing damaged, bleeding, and incapable of flight. His heart sank with despair.

    Despite the pain, he managed to crawl to a nearby pool of rainwater. His parched beak welcomed the drink, yet his stomach growled with hunger. He felt weak and hopeless.

    Nearby, a pond had formed from the recent rain. Gathering all his strength, he leaped from the edge, gliding into the water. He felt a glimmer of hope.
