The Cunning Crow and the Serpent

Once upon a time, in a lush green forest, there was a towering banyan tree which was home to a family of crows. The clever crow and his devoted wife had lived there happily for many years, raising their young. However, their joy was overshadowed by a wicked serpent who had taken to climbing the banyan tree, greedily consuming their fledglings one by one.

But the crow, bound by love and memories to their home, responded with a heavy heart, “Beloved, this tree has sheltered us for generations; to forsake it would be to forsake our heritage. Instead, let us seek the counsel of our wise friend, the jackal.”

With a clever plan from the jackal, the crow couple set out to put an end to their torment.

With one bold swoop, the crow snatched the necklace, drawing the attention of the queen’s attendants.

The crow, with the jewel gleaming in her beak, led the frantic attendants on a chase back to the banyan tree, where she deftly dropped the treasure into the serpent’s lair. The attendants arrived, sticks in hand, ready to reclaim the queen’s necklace. As they dug into the lair, the serpent, enraged, emerged only to be met with its swift demise.
