Of Crows And Owls
Crows and owls feud over food and space, crows send a spy, gather information, and drive owls away, leading to peaceful coexistence.
Once upon a time, there was a large banyan tree where many crows lived. Nearby, in an old tree, a group of owls made their home. The crows and owls did not get along. They often fought over food, space, and who got to be awake at night.
One day, the king of the crows called a meeting. He said they needed a plan to stay safe. A wise crow suggested pretending to fight among themselves. One crow would then go to the owls and act like they had been kicked out. The crows agreed with the plan.
The crows had a fake fight, and one crow went to the owls, acting sad. The owl king let the crow stay with them, thinking he could learn about the crows.
The crow stayed with the owls and learned all their secrets. After some time, he flew back to the crows and told them everything.
The crow king and the wise crow made a plan to scare the owls away. One night, the crows made loud noises and flapped their wings near the owls' home. The owls got scared and flew away, leaving their tree.
From that day on, the owls stayed far from the crows. The forest became peaceful again, with the crows flying during the day and the owls hooting at night.
This taught the crows and owls about trust and clever thinking.
