Once upon a time, there were three little girls who liked to play in their building garden. One afternoon they found a hurt dove lying on the ground. The sisters picked up the dove and carried it to their father because they wanted to take care of it. He said that they could feed it and look after the dove until it got well.
The girls filled a shoe box with cotton and put the dove in it. Near the box they put water and rice, all of this in the most comfortable balcony corner.
Little by little the dove was getting better and one day she took wing. However, from time to time the dove came back to the balcony where always she had rice and water. Sometimes she came with other doves and together they ate and drunk. The three sisters rejoiced every time the dove came back to the balcony. One or two years later the family moved to a new house. One day during a walk they met their neighbour, an old lady who was the owner of the apartment. She told the family that once she had been to clean the unoccuped apartment she found the dove dead in the balcony. The dove had come to die in her three friends balcony.
