Then Drona called Arjuna and asked, “Can you see the
tree, the bird on its top and other things around?”

Arjuna replied, “No Sir, I can see only the bird and nothing
else.”

“Very good,” said Drona and asked again, “Can you see
the bird?”

Arjuna replied, “No Sir, I can only see the neck and the
head of the bird.”

Drona was pleased. He ordered, “Shoot your arrow.”

Arjuna did so and the arrow hit the false bird’s neck. The

bird fell down on the ground. All the boys in the group, except
the jealous Duryodhana, clapped and congratulated Arjuna.

Drona embraced Arjuna, blessed him and said, “See my dear
boys, concentration and focus are the keys to success. Be

focused always.”
