There were once two birds, the two lived with their whole family. They lived on a tree for about 10 to 15 years and their family had grown very large, so they had made a huge house in this tree house. Every night people would come walking to the tree and look up at the birds. One day their cousin came to visit them. In the evening he asked them “Why are you all glowing?” The birds did not know what he was talking about. So he took a picture and showed them. The birds were shocked. So the next day they went to the bird doctor and the told their doctor about what happened and that we don’t know why but we are glowing. The doctor did some tests but could not figure out the problem so he told them “take me with you for a week and show me what you do, what you eat, where you live etc.”. The birds said “Ok”. So the doctor did his packing and went on his way with the birds to their home.
He stayed at their house for a week, ate what they ate, did what they did. And then at the end of the week, when he too had started glowing in the dark like the rest of them, he said that it is something in your food. We should try shifting to a different place to see if this problem goes away. So they went to another tree for a week. The people stopped coming to watch them in the evening so then they thought that it was now safe to go back to their former home. So they went back to the yellow tree but then they again started glowing a few days later. It was so strange.
For a day or two they looked around to see what was wrong and they found out that in the house that was near the tree there lived a boy, and he wanted his house walls to glow in the dark. Every day he would go to the hardware store, get glow in the dark paint, put it on his walls then turned on all of the lights and look at it. But glow in the dark paint would glow only when it was dark not with all the lights switched on. The boy thought it was not working and throw all the remaining paint down in the mud and the glow in the dark paint would mix with the birds food and they would eat that food. That was how they started glowing in the dark.
So the birds called their woodpecker friend and told him what all happened and then asked him for a little help, the woodpecker replied “I will do anything”. So the two birds told him “could you please break all of the lights in this house over there?”. The woodpecker went and broke all of the light bulbs in the house. That day the boy had put more glow in the dark paint on the walls. At night when the boy tried to turn the lights on they were not turning on so he looked at the walls and they were glowing. He started dancing with joy.
As for the birds they finally turned normal again and lived happily ever after! (Though if you think about it the glow in the dark idea for birds does sound magical)
