Tale of Golden Droppings

{‘prompt’: ‘Watercolor illustration of Sindhuka, a small vibrant blue bird with yellow accents, perched high in a large, leafy green tree on a tall, rocky mountain. Below the tree, a hunter with a brown cloak and bow, rests, looking tired. A small, golden nugget lies on the ground near him, subtly glowing. Emphasize the height of the tree and the vastness of the mountain landscape.’}

{‘prompt’: ‘Watercolor illustration of Sindhuka, same consistent color, size and shape as before, trapped in a simple net. The hunter, same consistent color, size and shape as before, stands over her with a gleeful expression. The setting is still near the large tree on the mountain, with the golden nugget visible on the ground.’}

{‘prompt’: ‘Watercolor illustration depicting the hunter, same consistent color, size and shape as before, presenting Sindhuka in a gilded cage to a king. The king, dressed in regal purple and gold robes, looks delighted. A skeptical-looking minister with a long grey beard stands slightly behind the king, observing the scene. Palace setting with ornate details.’}

{‘prompt’: ‘Watercolor illustration showing Sindhuka, same consistent color, size and shape as before, flying away from the palace, leaving behind a small pile of gold coins. The king, same consistent color, size and shape as before, looks regretful, while the minister, same consistent color, size and shape as before, nods sagely. The hunter is not shown in this prompt. Palace setting. ‘}

{‘prompt’: ‘Watercolor illustration of Sindhuka, same consistent color, size and shape as before, flying far above a landscape of rolling green hills and distant mountains. She has a determined look on her face. The style should be light and airy, conveying a sense of freedom and distance.’}

Sindhuka the bird lived high in a big tree on a tall mountain. Her poo was special – it turned into gold!

One day, a hunter came to the mountain. He couldn’t find any animals to hunt, so he rested under Sindhuka’s tree. Plop! Sindhuka pooped, and it landed near the hunter, turning into gold! The hunter was amazed!

He thought, “I’ve never seen bird poo turn into gold! I have to catch that bird!” He set a trap, and Sindhuka, who wasn’t looking, got caught.

The hunter took Sindhuka home. He thought, “If I keep her, I’ll get rich, but people will be suspicious. It’s better to give her to the king!”

So, he went to the palace and gave Sindhuka to the king. The king was so happy! He told his helpers, “Take good care of this bird! Give her lots of food and water!”

But one smart minister said, “How can bird poo turn into gold? This hunter might be tricking us! Let’s free the bird and punish the hunter!”

The king listened to his minister. They freed Sindhuka. Poof! She pooped again, and – guess what? – more gold! The king realized he’d made a mistake, but Sindhuka had flown away!

Sindhuka promised to be more careful, and flew far, far away. The wise say, ‘Always check carefully, even if something seems impossible!’
