The Greedy Cow: I enjoy reading stories with nice
morale lessons. This story is about a crow who found a piece of meat to feast
on. As the crow climbed to the top of the tree, the crow saw a small bird with
a full rat. The crow wanted to take the rat from the small bird, so he chased
the bird leaving his piece of meat behind. The bird being smaller was more
agile and could fly faster. The crow wasn’t able to catch the bird and returned
to find his meat taken. The hawk was responsible for taking the crow’s meat.
The crow learned that one should not be greedy and instead be content with what
you have. I feel this a great story to re tell with different characters, maybe
a child in a school type of scenario where the child feels ungrateful for what
his poor parents are offering him but later learns a lesson.
The Lost Necklace: The crow bought a fine necklace
from a merchant. He was very proud with it and boasted around other animals
with this necklace. One day he saw the Hen who asked to borrow the necklace.
The crow gave the Hen the necklace, trusting that the hen would return the
necklace the next day. The next day the crow went to gather his necklace, the
hen did not have it and claimed that one of her chicks had lost the necklace
and could not find it. The crow threatened to go to the king and tell him about
the Hen losing his necklace. The hen was frightened and then agreed to give the
crow a chick every day until she retrieves his necklace. The necklace was never
retrieved and the crow ate a chick every day.
