Solution
The two birds were brothers. But they got separated when a storm blew. One came down near a cave where robbers lived. The other landed outside a rishi's ashram. The former learned the language of the robbers. The latter learned to welcome the strangers sweetly. Thus, their company shaped their behaviour.
