Once there lived a father crow and mother crow on a banyan tree along with their new born child. There was a cobra living under the tree in its hole. One day the cobra crawled up the tree and ate the young ones as it could not fly away. The mother crow was worried.
She told the father crow about this and told him to find a home somewhere else. The father crow said, “We should not run away from danger. But fight it out with our strength. Let’s meet our friend fox tomorrow and discuss about this.”
The fox was glad to welcome the crow family. On knowing the story, he was shocked, but assured them to help out. He instructed the crows to pick up the prince’s necklace, tomorrow when he comes for bathe in the lake, and put it in the cobra’s hole. The cobra will then be taken care of by the prince's servant.
Even though the crow couple did not know how this action would help them, they trusted their friend’s intelligence and did exactly as they were told. The soldiers came running behind the crows for the necklace. On seeing the crow drop the necklace in the hole, they dug up the hole, killed the cobra and took away the king’s necklace.
The crow couple were happily and thanked their friend for the right guidance.
Moral of the Story: Good Company will always help us in times of need.
