द्रुवी भिरमुटी हालींच उडपाक शिकला.

तें ताच्या इश्टिणीं बरोबर तळ्याकडेनउडटा.

तीं तळ्यांतल्या बेब्यांक चाळयतात,आनी दनपारा जेवणांक मूस खातात.

सांजेच्या वेळार द्रुवी लागसरल्यारानांत वता.

तें थंय सवण्यांच्या घोंटेरांक आनीमावल्यांच्या जाळ्यांक पळयता.

मात तें मळबांतली कुंपा एकठांय जातातीं पळयना.

टप्प.. पावसाचो एक थेंब द्रुवीच्यामाथ्यार पडलो.

द्रुवीक आतां घरा परत वचपाक जाय.

पूण ताका ताचीं पांखा भिजोवपाचीं नात.

“म्हाका सत्री जाय”, अशें द्रुवी चित्ता.

तें गुलमोहराच्या झाडार उडून वता.

झाड, घट्ट तांबडे सत्रे बशेन दिसता.

ताची पानां खूब ल्हान.

इतली ल्हान, की तातून एक मूय सुध्दा धापचीना.“म्हाका कितें तरी व्हडलें जाय”, अशें द्रुवी चित्ता.

द्रुवीक नखेत्राच्या आकाराचें एक व्हडलेंपान दिसता.

“पोपायेच्या पानांची म्हाकाव्हडली सत्री करपाक मेळटली”, अशें द्रुवी चित्ता. “शी! हातूंतल्यान तर पावस सगळो भितर येता”.

आतां वारें जोरान येवपाक लागता, पूणद्रुवीक अजून सत्री मेळूंक ना.

तें एका झाडाच्या पोंदाक बसका घेता,पूण ताचीं पानांच कवळता.

“कितलें निर्दयी तूं”, द्रुवी हें लज्जेच्या झाडाक म्हणटा.

द्रुवी दुखी जाता. रानांत सगळ्याकपानां पातळ्ळ्यात.

थंय बारीक पानां तशींच मोटी पानां,व्हडली पानां तशींच धाकली पानां आसात.

पूण खंयच सत्री करपाची पानां नात.

इतल्यान द्रुवीक वडाचें झाड दिसता.

तें नखेत्राच्या आकाराचें वा काट्यारेंना.

ताचीं पानां चड जड वा चड ल्हान नात.

द्रुवी वडाच्या झाडाकडेन उडटा.

पानांच्या पोंदाक तें आपली बसका घेता.

आतां ताका ताची सत्री मेळिल्ली.

भिरमुटीबद्दल आनी कांय म्हायती

भिरमुटी ह्योव्हड भोंवडेकार. कांय भिरमुटी, जशो हळडुव्यो भिरमुटी ज्यो आमकां शेतानीं वा बागेनमेळटात, त्यो भारतांतल्यान आफ्रिकेंत उकत्या दर्यांत उडून वतात. त्यो हिंद महासागरपार करपाक 16,000 किलोमीटरा परस चड प्रवास करतात. त्यो तांचो प्रवास ऑक्टोबरम्हयन्यांत भारतांतल्यान सुरू करतात, आनी जानेवारी म्हयन्यांत तंजानिया सारकेल्यादेशांत पावतात. वाटेर ते मालदीव आनी सेशल्स सारकेल्या व्दिपांचेर थांबतात.

भिरमुटी जेन्नाचड गरम वा चड थंड जातात, तेन्ना तांचे कडेन उडपाक जायना. सकाळच्या वेळार तांकासुर्याची उब मेळची म्हण त्यो आपली पाखां फुलयतात. दनपारा कांय भिरमुटी आपल्या वाडिल्ल्याशरिरान बसका घेतात आनी थंड रावपाक पोट सुर्याच्या दिकेन करतात.
