Once there was a boy called Larry. The boy was very keen on pigeons. He spent hours in the park where he was watching and feeding those fantastic birds. Their feathers were amazing – they looked like a rainbow. These were the times when pigeons could be watched only in the parks. No one could touch them or take them home. When Larry grew up, he got married and Larry’s beautiful daughter was born. Her name was Maya. The girl, like her father, became fascinated by the pigeons. She wished she could have one of them only for herself and begged her father to bring her one.
Larry knew that it was forbidden to take the pigeon home but he wanted his daughter to be happy at all costs. At night he sneaked into the park, stole one of the pigeons and got back home. While he was taking his prey from the bag, a strange figure came out. It started to get bigger and bigger and finally it turned out that it was a pigeon witch. “How dare you come to the park and steal my pigeons! “, the furious woman shouted. She was wearing a black dress and her face was terrible.
� Do you realize what you have done? You are not allowed to take my pigeons and you know that if you do you will be punished! That is why I put a curse on you till the rest of your life�, she kept screaming. As a punishment she changed Larry into a white pigeon. He had no colors because of his terrible act. Then the witch disappeared. Maya took the pigeon from the floor. She was looking at it for a moment when suddenly the pigeon flew out of the window. She never saw it again.
