THE COBRA AND THE CROW - MORAL STORY

           Acrow has laid many eggs in a nest on top of a tree. She was assured that her nest was safe from wild animals. But, her belief was in vain. A big cobra sensed the nest. 





            He slithered there and ate the eggs one by one. Every time the crow laid her eggs, the cobra did the same. The crow had to think of a way to get rid of the cobra. She was not strong enough to attack the cobra. She was worried about her eggs. She had to do something to safeguard her eggs at least in future. She sat with her pair and they both came up with a plan.





         The next day, the crow flew to the palace. She picked the princess' necklace and with a big cawing sound fluttered away. The guards heard the crow's sound and saw her carry the necklace. They started to follow the crow wherever she flew. The crow flew to the termite hill in the forest and threw away the necklace into the mouth hole. 


          The guards knew that the hole would be the living place of some cobra. With utmost care, they left their spears inside the hole and searched for the necklace. The first thing to come out was the big cobra that had looted the crow's nest. The guards immediately killed the cobra. Then, they further searched and got the necklace back and left for the palace. The crow heaved with a sense of relief. She laid some eggs and they hatched. The crow now lived happily with her family.
