Once upon a time there was a boy called Jake. He was a very kind and compassionate boy. He loved to play with birds and animals. He was so intelligent that he also learnt the names of them by heart, so as he could talk to them in their own language. He asked them about all of their secrets and the birds also told them about the places where they hide themselves in winters. They also told him about how they build their beautiful nest in summer.

He was kind not only to the birds but also to the beasts. He learnt their language and their names. Jake asked them all sorts of questions like how the beavers made their homes. He wanted to know how the squirrels hid the fruits of the oak from everyone. To his surprise, the beast answered all his curious questions. Jake became very happy and satisfied with all the answers. The beast and the chickens became his best friends and he called them brothers.
