102. THE SNAKE AND THE CROW

Somewhere in the country, under a banyan tree, there lived a pair of crows, husband and wife. Now, whenever the female hatched her eggs, a snake would come out of the hollow of the tree, climb up, and make a meal of them. Nearby, under another banyan tree, there lived a jackal.

The crows told jackal everything. ‘Friend. The snake creeps out of the hollow of the tree, climbs up and eats up our children. Tell us, what can we do to protect our children ? It’s become dangerous for us to live here.’
