I would like to introduce "Sonda Pada, A tree which danced with star." from the picture book "Story of cosmic forest." which I produced before I started my activities at the Mithila Museum.
Sonda Pada, A tree which danced with star.
A slow movement was happening in the century of darkness when cosmos
had not even stars. The movement was gradually making a figure
which appeared as a tree of Sonda Pada.
Cosmos welcomed the century of light and stars gradually started to appear.
Stars having many colors like rainbow gave lights to darkness and
the tree of Sonda Pada started dancing. After sometime seeds fell like raindrops
and they rooted on the land of stars.
The star, Peekla was giving out green color light.
So many clouds came up from the seeds which fell into the crack.
From those clouds, wind was born and was called Goushila.
Eventually, plenty rain came out from clouds and wind and fell on the earth.
The crack became sea and grass came from the rocky earth.
Then forest of Gogula came.
From the forest Gogula, silver colored birds were born. And the birds were always singing.

The bird was always singing but did not know how to dance.
One day, wind Goshila had been blowing for many days, the bird finally was
blown away and was slammed strongly.
The beautiful silvery wings were wretched and unrecognizable.
Somehow the injured bird hid in the dark hole of a tree and was surprised
to see the strange scene. There was nothing which was not dancing
within the massive wind of Goshila.
Even little green grass also knows how to dance.
thinking this way, the weary bird fell into a deep sleep.
In his dream, the bird was flying toward the tree of Sonda pada.
The bird had a strange dream. The tree Sonda Pada was dancing
with the shining star.
The bird whispered in his dream, I, too, want to dance.
Perch on my tree and you will dance.
The voice came from the stars.
The bird perched on the tree and found he became
Sonda Pada
When the wind, Goshila, went away, bright morning visited again in the forest,
Bathing in a bright light in morning, the silver bird who turned to be Sonda Pada in a forest of Gogula sang and danced happily.
Gogula Peekla,
Gogula Peekla,
Sheekla Goushila,
We are born from tree dancing with stars
Dancing we are.
We are born from the forest of Gogula
Dancing we are.
Cosmos is a tree dancing with Stars.
Cosmos is a forest dancing with stars.
