On the way, a mynah bird who was about to go to sleep, saw Nikini.

“Nikini, where are you going in the dark?” the mynah bird asked.
“Mynah bird, it’s my Amma’s birthday tomorrow. She loves me

very much. She cooks and cleans and works hard with no rest. Her
love is the biggest thing in the world for me. So, I should give her

the ‘biggest’ gift. But I still couldn’t find anything as big as my
Amma’s love,” Nikini said sadly.

“No, I think you should give her the ‘most beautiful’ gift,
something like beautiful flowers, beautiful pearls,”

the bluebird said. Nikini thought for a moment.
“Dear mynah bird, the most beautiful thing

in the world is my Amma. So, I would like to
find a flower or a pearl as beautiful as my Amma.

But where can I find it?” asked Nikini.
“You are a very good daughter.

So I will help you,” said the mynah bird
and away they went.

They went on and on
but couldn’t find anything

as beautiful as her mother.
