Release Birdie and Get a Son 放生小鳥結善果

English subtitles :
Do good deeds and amass virtues. Many people think that is just a proverb to encourage people to do good. However, Mr. Wu proves this really makes sense with his own actions. When Wu graduated from college, he worked at a mining company in the Northeast.
Sam, in a few days, you will go prospecting with us in the wild. You need to eat more these days. Otherwise, there won’t be anything delicious outside.
Really, there is nothing to eat in the wild?
Not as bad as that, but it's all canned food. Eating canned food for a long time can be hard.
Even so, it’s good to have enough to eat in the wild. If you can catch a hare or a pheasant, it will be a lavish meal.
1:00
Yes, let alone hare or pheasant, even roasting a bird has a unique flavor. One day, Wu went prospecting with his colleagues in the wild. When they were having lunch. These canned foods are really awful. It would be great if we could catch some wildlife to add to the meal. Eh, where are the other people? They, oh, I know. They go looking for something delicious. Looking for something delicious?
Yeah, they both must be bored with this canned food, so go searching for something delicious.
Ha ha, see what we've caught. We've caught a bird. It was not easy to catch it.
2:00
How about we roast it for lunch? Well, I knew you guys went out looking for delicious food. Unfortunately, this bird is so small that it only fits in the gaps in our teeth. Something is better than nothing. Seeing this beautiful bird, a sentiment of compassion flowed through Wu's mind. Although he did not study Buddhism at that time and did not know the reasoning behind releasing birds, he knew birds are also living things, and it is very painful to be burned to death.
Come on, let's roast it. Oh, what are you doing, Sam? This bird is also a living thing. We can't realize how painful it feels when you are roasting it. Besides, it is too small to take a few bites. My opinion is to let it go. Oh.
3:00
Immediately, Wu released that bird. Birdie, fly.
Alas, Sam, you are too kind. It's just a bird. That's fine to eat it. Yeah, it's just a bird.
Bird is also a living thing. Burning it alive is so cruel. All right, since Sam has let it go, just let it go. Let's have lunch.
Several years later, Wu got married. And yet, two years later, they still didn't have a child. After a check up in the hospital, his wife was found to be infertile.
Sam, go for a walk with your wife? Yeah, take a walk after lunch and do some exercise.
4:00
You couple have such a good relationship. The couple really loves each other. But after two years marriage, why don't they have children? It would be pitiful if that were the case.
Husband, do you blame me for not being able to give you a child? No, why would I blame you for this reason?
On that night, Wu and his wife both had the same dream. They dreamed of a bird flying across the blue sky and landing on the eaves of their house. A pair of watery, spiritual eyes were looking at the Wu couple through the glass window.
Husband, what are you looking at? I just had a strange dream, a bird built a nest under our eave,
5:00
and it was looking at us through the window. Really! I had the same dream. That bird seems to be a magpie. It is said that when a magpie comes, it must bring luck. Could something lucky happen to our family?
Magpie? It looks like magpie but maybe not. Yeah, I've seen this bird before. Once, we went prospecting in the wild, my colleagues caught one and prepared to roast it.
Roast it, that's so cruel.
Yeah, I felt cruel too, so I released the bird.
You did the right thing, I think the bird came to repay your favor.
Several days later, Mrs. Wu went to the hospital for a check up.
Husband, I am pregnant, we have a baby.
6:00
What? Is it true? Yeah. That's unbelievable. Your wife was originally infertile. Now she's actually pregnant. You must have amassed a lot of virtue so that Heaven would bestow you a child.
I'm pregnant finally. I'm so happy.
Ten months later, Mrs. Wu successfully gave birth to a chubby and sound baby. Wife, I have a son. I'm a father finally.
Our son is so sensible. When I was pregnant, I didn't feel uncomfortable . When I gave birth, the labor pains didn't last long.
Well, our son doesn't want his mother to suffer. Yeah, our son is outstanding. A few days later, Wu found something on his son's body. .
