The Lucky Crow (Fable)
fable: -A narrative poem telling a fictional tale (often using animals as the characters) which ends with a moral.
The crow looked down from the tree
It saw a chirping dove about to flee
‘Stop, I’m comming to you’ said the crow
‘No I’m going elsewhere’ said the dove
The crow was hurt by the dove’s gesture
Decided not to befriend the dove in future
One day the dove flew along a flour mill
Saw sundried grains in heaps outside the mill
Tempted the dove awaited a quick peck
As there were watchmen alert with a stick
Same time bold crow was pecking grains aside
Peeking by chance dove too flew down the other side
Tempted, It started pecking the grains crazily
Leering at the crow then and then curiously
But the crow seeing the dove wanted to flee
To avoid the dove it flew swiftly to its tree
Left alone the dove felt free of sharing
Greedily it went on gulping much erring
Forgetting about the watchmen around
It minded only its grains aground
But lo! soon all turned down
Fate came guised of a sack gown
The watchmen caught the dove trapped
Wisely in a gunny sack well wrapped
The dove could only feel sorry
For its greediness and bad story
