🍂The Hawk and the Pigeons
A flock of Pigeons had made their dovecote around a lush green field. The field had another frequent visitor, a Hawk. All the Pigeons lived in the fear of the Hawk. They always lived on the alert. Every time, there was an attack by the Hawk, all the Pigeons hid themselves in their dovecote.
The Hawk found himself in a miserable position. He was not able to kill any Pigeon for his food. Finally, he thought of using a cunning trick to trap the Pigeons.
One morning, the Hawk called out to the Pigeons from far, “You all live a life of anxiety and fear. I can keep you safe from the attack of the falcons and the kites. All you have to do is, make me your King and I will not bother you any more.”
The innocent Pigeons believed the Hawk. They discussed among themselves and made the cunning Hawk their King. But, after a few days the Hawk began his royal feast.
He demanded to eat a Pigeon a day.
“It serves us right to believe the evil Hawk,” said all the grief-stricken Pigeons whose chances were yet to come.
Some remedies are worse than the disease, itself.

🍂The Bird Catcher and the Lark
One day, a Bird Catcher was setting traps upon a meadow. A beautiful Lark sat on a tree and watched him from a distance.
The Lark became curious and asked the Bird Catcher, “What are you doing?”
The Bird Catcher thought, if he could fool the Lark into his trap, he would be able to sell it for a good price.
He thought for a while and said, “0 Lark, I plan to build a colony for all birds and I am laying the foundation of my first house.”
After laying the trap, the Bird Catcher went to a nearby spot and hid himself in the bushes.
Meanwhile, the Lark who had believed the man, flew down to the trap.
After swallowing the bait, the Lark tried to fly away but found himself caught in the Bird Catcher’s trap.
While the Lark was struggling to get away, the Bird Catcher came and put him in a cage.
“You are a cunning fellow!” exclaimed the Lark. “If this is the kind of colony you are going to build, then you wouldn’t find many birds to settle down.”
Never trust your enemies.

🍂The Thrush and the Swallow
A young Thrush lived in an orchard with his parents. One bright spring morning, while he was hopping from branch to branch, he met a Swallow.
The Thrush and the Swallow soon became great friends. After flying over the vast orchards and the green meadows, the Swallow would often come to meet his friend, the Thrush.
The Thrush would be equally excited to meet the Swallow. He would hop from branch to branch,e agerly waiting for the Swallow’s arrival.
Days passed and the” Swallow and the Thrush started spending a lot of time together.
One day, the Thrush said to his mother, “Mother, I am so lucky to have found a friend like the Swallow. None of my friends are as good as him.”
The mother looked at the Thrush and said with love, “My Son, there is no bigger fool than you to make friends with a Swallow! Soon, it will be winter and the Swallow will fly far away to sunny meadows and you will be left alone to sit on a cold branch here!”
Your true friend is someone who will stay with you in your difficult times.
