0:00They weren't supposed to become friends,
0:02but they became brothers, bound by an
0:05invisible thread of trust.
0:10>> Rocket was the first to arrive at the
0:12house.
0:13>> I love you.
0:16[Music]
0:18>> A parrot with bright wings and an even
0:20brighter personality, he considered
0:23himself the master of the entire space,
0:26especially when it came to the attention
0:27of his owners.
0:29M get out of there.
0:32>> A few weeks later, Jewel arrived. A
0:34lively, feisty puppy who was not used to
0:37sharing territory. An invisible spark of
0:40rivalry immediately flared between them.
0:46Juel was jealous. Rocket was not far
0:49behind. As soon as the parrot flew
0:51closer, the puppy reached for him,
0:53trying to grab his feathers. And Rocket
0:57never missed an opportunity to teach him
0:59a lesson in his own way. With a light
1:02tap of his beak on the puppy's nose,
1:05[Music]
1:08and when Jewels squealled, Rocket flew
1:10up like a mischievous wind.
1:17This went on for days and weeks. Little
1:19skirmishes, short raids on each other,
1:22giggles and squeals. But each time the
1:25distance between them shortened, step by
1:27step, flap by flap, until the day when
1:30they found themselves nose to beak for
1:32the first time.
1:34>> Oh no. Be nice. Be nice, Jewel.
1:39>> It was a turning point. Jewel didn't
1:41snap back. Rocket didn't fly away. They
1:44just froze. And suddenly something
1:47clicked. Not in the air, but inside.
1:50From that day on, they no longer
1:52competed. From that day on, they became
1:54a team.
2:00Now their lives had changed. They ate
2:02together like true friends, sharing food
2:05as if they had always been together.
2:08They drank from the same bowl, as if
2:10there had never been any other option
2:12for them. Sometimes Rocket waited
2:14patiently for Juel to finish, and
2:17sometimes Juel gave way to his friend.
2:20But most importantly, they played
2:22together. And it was through play that
2:24their friendship became truly strong.
2:31Fetch became their favorite ritual.
2:34Rocket deafly caught the ball with his
2:36beak, soared into the air, and rushed
2:39forward. Juel ran after him, jumping and
2:42kicking up dirt with his paws. They
2:44raced across the yard in unison like two
2:46partners in a dance, like two arrows
2:49shot from the same bow. And every time
2:51the ball reached its target, they
2:53returned together, always together.
2:59Sometimes Juel got carried away and
3:01could accidentally hit Rocket with his
3:03paw. There were moments when it seemed
3:06that their friendship would falter.
3:08Rocket would yelp. Jewel would freeze.
3:11But instead of resentment, there was
3:13forgiveness.
3:14Instead of a breakup, there were new
3:17games. Because their bond had become
3:19something more than just friendship.
3:21They learned to be patient. They learned
3:23to trust. They learned to understand.
3:29One morning, as the sun rose above the
3:32horizon, Juel sat in the yard and Rocket
3:34gently landed on his back. The puppy
3:37didn't move. The parrot bowed his head
3:39and lightly touched the top of his head.
3:42They were just there together. It wasn't
3:44just friendship. It was brotherhood.
3:53Since then, they have been inseparable.
3:55Juel led Rocket around the yard as if
3:58guarding him. Rocket accompanied the
4:00puppy in every game. Even at times when
4:03it seemed that this was no place for a
4:05bird,
4:07they became a team on walks, at home, at
4:10play, and at rest.
4:14Rocket and Jewel prove to everyone that
4:17true friendship knows no boundaries. It
4:20is not born when everything is smooth,
4:22but when two different hearts decide to
4:25be together, no matter what. If you like
