TWO BIRDS IN ONE STONE - MORAL STORY

             On a tree, near a perennial lake, lived a pair of herons. They had built their nest high on the tree, hoping to keep dangerous animals away. They laid many eggs and were waiting anxiously for them to hatch. But alas! A cobra had found the eggs in the nest started eating one by one. The pair of herons were in great despair. They could not fight against the big cobra. As they were fishing in the pond they were crying. A crab saw the herons weeping.

He slowly came to them and asked, "Hello friends, can I know the reason for your sadness." "Oh, crab! A cobra sneaks into our nest and eats our eggs. We are at a loss what to do to chase off the cobra," the herons told. The crab thought to itself, "I hate both the herons and the cobra. They both are a threat to me. Let me take my opportunity to get rid of both the heron and the cobra at a single stroke."




        The crab said in a convincing, "I know of a plan. Go to the borough of the mongoose and steal some of its food and spread it around the tree and up to the hole where the cobra lives. The mongoose will do the remaining. " The herons left out to enact the plan. They stealthily took some pieces of food from the mongoose borough and spread them all around the tree and in the hole where the cobra lived. That evening, the mongoose sniffed its food lying around the tree and ending in the cobra's hole. He fought with the cobra and killed him.




 The herons were watching the whole show from high up the tree, unknowing that they were going to become the next prey for the mongoose. As soon as the mongoose killed the cobra, his attention turned towards the herons as they smelt of his food. The mongoose jumped and climbed up the tree. In a single sweep, he caught the herons and killed them too. The crab was the one who really benefitted from the show.
