The Story in Short
A pair of crows built their nest in a big tree and raised their young there. But a wicked cobra lived at the bottom of the tree and ate their eggs and chicks each time. The sad crows did not know what to do against the strong snake.
They went to their friend, a clever jackal, for advice. The jackal thought of a smart plan. He told the crows to snatch a shining necklace from the king’s palace and drop it near the cobra’s hole.
The crows did exactly that. When the king’s guards followed the crows and found the necklace near the cobra’s hole, they killed the cobra to get it back. The clever plan had rid the crows of their enemy forever.
