The Partridge and The Fowler
Clever Partridge captured by Fowler offers to bring more birds for freedom, but Fowler refuses and Partridge meets its fate.
Once upon a time, in a beautiful green forest, there lived a smart partridge. This bird was clever, and all the other animals in the forest respected him.
One day, a man called the Fowler, who made his living by catching birds, came into the forest. He saw the partridge and quickly trapped him in a net. The partridge was very scared because he was in big trouble.
When the Fowler was about to kill the partridge, the bird begged, "Please, kind sir, let me go, and I will bring you many more birds like me."
The Fowler looked at the partridge seriously. He did not believe the bird's words. He said, "So, you would betray your friends and family just to save yourself? This shows me that I should not let you go."
And that was the end for the partridge. The Fowler did not change his mind.
