A beautiful miracle, that can happen anytime, anywhere to almost anyone. A tiny magpie broke the shell of his small, strange, greenish egg. The miracle was Bialoipokku. The nest was warm and soft and Bialoipokku felt very safe.There he was, swaying at the edge of the nest, looking out over his forest home, damp, beautiful and sweet smelling. No other forest has such a deep silence, he thought, no nest could be warmer. Maybe it would be a good idea to stretch one's wings and then snuggle them into a comfortable position, just looking around until one falls asleep – after all, there is still a long life ahead. Bialoipokku felt slightly confused and suspected that this sort of happy existence couldn't last forever. But the forest was still sleeping and so he fell asleep too and drifted into his first dream in the soft, warm nest."
