The Crow and Other Birds

Crow

Eagle

Dove

Robin

Owl

There was a crow who thought herself ugly and black. ‘I am the most miserable bird in the world. I have no friends,’ she complained to the eagle.

‘I am the most miserable bird in the world. I have no friends.’

The eagle advised her to lend a hand to her fellow birds. Then this may earn their trust and friendship. The crow did as the eagle suggested.

‘Lend a hand to your fellow birds. Then you may earn their trust

and friendship. They will love you then.’

The dove was playing in the park when it suddenly rained heavily.

Feeling sad for the dove, the crow dropped an umbrella in the park quietly. She flew away without realising she had dropped a black feather.

‘Whose umbrella is this?’……

‘Maybe it’s hers!’

‘Whose umbrella is this?’ murmured the dove. ‘Maybe it’s hers!’

The robin was bored at home and feeling lonely.

Feeling bad for the robin, the crow dropped three CDs at his door quietly. She flew away without realising she had dropped a black feather.

‘Whose CDs are these?’ exclaimed the robin. ‘Maybe they’re hers!’

‘Whose CDs are these?’……

‘Maybe they’re hers!’

The owl was starving to death.

‘I’m starving….’

Feeling worried for the owl, the crow put his favourite blueberry chocolates into his nest quietly. She flew away without realising she had dropped a black feather.

‘Whose chocolates are these?’ cried the owl. ‘Maybe they’re hers!’

‘Whose chocolates are these?’……

‘Maybe they’re hers!’

The crow felt satisfied and happy after offering a hand to three fellow birds. The next morning, she was about to leave home to

help other birds when she saw an umbrella, three CDs and hamburgers outside her home.

‘This umbrella is mine. These CDs are mine. But whose hamburgers are these?’ pondered the crow.

‘This umbrella is mine. These CDs are mine. But whose hamburger is this?’ mine. These CDs are mine. But

whose chocolates are these?’

Just then the dove, the robin and the owl appeared. ‘These hamburgers are ours,’ they smiled at the crow.

‘But they are now yours, my friend!’

‘These chocolates are ours.’ ‘But they are now yours, my friend!’

“Lending a hand can earn you a friend.”
