Pigeon
Poetry

According to ancestral law,
The two siblings got some pigeons.
The pet pigeons raised in the care of the father, are in good health.
The youngest son is very excited
to get the pigeons. He is always engrossed with the pigeons.
Feeds them and flies. Even playing with pigeons shoulder-to-hand.
The eldest son got the pigeons
and sold some of them. All the time,
He keeps the pigeons in cages and occasionally tastes the pigeon meat.
According to ancestral law,
The youngest son’s successor got some pigeons.
And the eldest son’s successor heard the history of the pigeon in the fiction.
