Its just an interesting story so i suggest you to understand the meaning of the story.

Long ago, a sage came to a village. He preached good things to the people. Gradually, there was a lot of transformation among them. The villagers stopped drinking. Gambling and prostitution ceased. An arrack shop-owner a great loss. He was enraged at the sage. He sent a wrestler to the sage with the instruction to send him away by hook or by crook. The sage has become popular for his predictions also. The wrestler took a parrot in his hand and asked, "Master, tell me what is in my hand ?"

                 "That's a parrot my son", said the cage.

                 "Could you tell me its future?', asked the wrestler, tightening his grip on the parrot.

                 If the sage had said, "it would live" he wanted to crush it to death. And if he had said, "it would die" he wished to leave it.

                 The sage smiled and said: "Everything is in your hands, my son!"
