Class 8 Odia Sahitya Surabhi Chapter 2 Notes – Bihanga Biplaba

First Paragraph:

Even though the Oriole bird (Haladibasanta) repeatedly built its nest in the mango tree, a wicked old monkey kept destroying it. As the spring season was drawing to a close, the mother Oriole grew deeply anxious about protecting her lineage. At this time, her friends—the House Crow (Damarakua) and the Myna (Gangei)—arrived there. Talking about his own bravery, the crow expressed that it is the duty of the bird community to protect artists like the Oriole and the Cuckoo. On the other hand, a deceitful heron mocked the Oriole and remarked that they lacked patriotism. However, when all the birds united and condemned the heron, he fled from the spot.

Second Paragraph:

The Kingbird (Kajalapati), acting as the mediator of the bird society, tried to reason with the old monkey to resolve the issue. However, blinded by the arrogance of being physically powerful, the monkey refused to listen to anything. Finally, the birds approached the King of the Forest, the Bear, to seek justice. In the absence of tigers and lions in the royal court, the animals and birds had elected the bear as the king and the jackal as the minister. After hearing the crow’s arguments, the king initially found the monkey guilty and pronounced a harsh punishment. But the clever monkey placed a ripe jackfruit behind the king as a bribe. Lured by this gift, King Bear changed his verdict and declared the Oriole itself to be the guilty party.

Third Paragraph:

Upon hearing the true reason behind the king’s unjust verdict from a sparrow, the crow became furious. At his single call, hundreds of crows, kingbirds, kites, and vultures united and launched an attack on the royal palace. There, they saw the king, the minister, and the monkey feasting together on the bribed jackfruit. Using their beaks and claws, the avian army relentlessly pecked and scratched the corrupt king, the minister, and the tyrannical monkey, throwing them into utter chaos. In this manner, the innocent birds united to overthrow the powerful yet corrupt rulers from the throne, teaching them a fitting lesson.
