There was once a crow who lived in the woods.
Crow was happy with his life and never wanted for anything, until . . .
. . . one day,
Crow saw a dove.
She was cooing
softly from her nest.
That bird is so beautiful and
her cooing is so soothing, thought Crow.
Her bright feathers make
mine seem so dull, and who would want to listen to my
loud “caw caw”?
Crow flew up to the dove and said,
“You’re so beautiful. You must be the happiest bird alive.”
“I thought I was happy,” said Dove, “until I heard Nightingale sing. His singing is so magnificent, it makes my cooing
sound plain.
Crow flew up to the dove and said,
“You’re so beautiful. You must be the happiest bird alive.”
“I thought I was happy,” said Dove, “until I heard Nightingale sing. His singing is so magnificent, it makes my cooing
sound plain.
“Nightingale must be the happiest bird in the world.”
