It was a newly tilled paddy field. Under a sod there was a nest.

A couple of Quail parents lived with their baby, who was impatient to fly. Several times he pleaded with his parents, asking for permission to fly, but they said he should wait for at least a few more days. One morning, when the parents were not at home, the Baby Quail came to the door, looked around, and moved out of the nest without their parents' knowledge. However, a storm shifted him away while he was watching the beauties around him. When the storm stopped, a Falcon who was looking for something to eat caught the baby quail. As there was no other way to release from the grip, the Baby Quail asked the Falcon how he was safe at his father's home, and it was because he did not listen to his parents. He requested to release him, and the Falcon decided to check the safety at the Quail's nest. However, both of them learned that hanging around in inappropriate places wasn't safe for anyone.
