Obey or follow rules/orders =abide by

My write ups:

“Abide by the rules especially when they are favorable otherwise you can always say a big bye to rules but never let rules rule over”.

       Short story –by Balayogi

          ABIDE BY like Abi and   Deby

            Two birds named ABI and DEBY, lived together in a well protected nest built at  a vantage point, sand-witched between a fish stall and a butcher’s shop. They laid down a set of rules in their mutual own interests and both obeyed the rules and led a smooth life.

            One day ABI had the fortune of escaping from a pouncing lynx but unfortunate to have its wings on one side broken and its tibiotarsus [A long bone in the leg of a bird between the femur and the tarsometatarsus, consisting of the tibia fused with the proximal bones of the tarsus] severely damaged   that it could no longer fly or run fast but barely manage to move slowly. DEBY could not bear the tragedy and as their friendship was so profound that they set out a new set of rules whereby to ensure the safety of ABI, DEBY also would not fly or move far away, instead he would clandestinely pick up meat bits and fish from the two nearby shops and bring and give them to ABI. This worked on well for some time.

            All of a sudden the fish stall moved out of the place and the customers at the butcher’s shop also dwindled but somehow DEBY managed to bring enough chicken and meat from its short sorties but it brought some pieces and started putting them in cardboard box out of the reach of ABI.

            Once when DEBY had gone out on such sorties ABI filled with physical feebleness, psychological frustration and presumptive suspicion in a spur of the movement straining its only remaining spur  [a sharp curved part on the back of a bird’s leg ] dragged itself injuring its breast, flanks and belly defying all laws of kinematics [the branch of biomechanics about the study of movement with reference to the amount of time taken to carry out the activity ]  reached out for the box stretching  and straining its ruff [A distinctive collarlike projection around the neck, as of feathers on a bird or of fur on a mammal ] and carried on to consume the carrion and returned to its abode.

            When DEBY arrived he found an exhausted and bleeding ABI and was terribly upset, he went near and enquired what happened.

ABI in a fit of fury started abusing DEBY as to why he was hoarding food selfishly for himself in the box. Then DEBY explained saying that he had been putting chicken pieces infected with bird flu and poisoned meat pieces in that box so that no creature would consume it even by mistake. As DEBY was narrating this ABI died with its gizzard [The second, or true, muscular stomach of birds ] spilling out of its torn belly and blood oozing out of its beak. ABI and DEBY had a safe and smooth life as long as they were abiding by the rules of what they agreed upon but calamity struck when suspicion led to aberration. So always try to ABIDE BY the rules as ABI and DEBY did initially.
