A bird and a crow were very good friends. Bird was working very hard but crow was very lazy. One day they planned to start work together in the fields. Next morning bird asked to the crow lets go to the field to grow plants. But crow said you go I am coming after some time. But he didn’t go and bird finished the work by himself. Next morning it happens again. Days passed, the bird finished all the work by himself but crow never helped him. When the fruits were ripped, bird asked to the crow lets divide the fruits, the crow flew very fast towards plants. He sat over the fruits and said to the bird that this is my share and the leftover is your share. Bird was sad but he was a good friend and said it’s ok. But at the same time a big thunder storm came, the bird hide in the grass, and the crow tried to hide under the apples but he couldn’t. Next morning when the sun arises the bird came out of the grass. He saw the crow was dead and all the fruits were there. He cried a lot as he lost his only friend. But he got all the fruits as he worked very hard. The crow got nothing as he was very lazy.
moral of the story: work hard, you always get the reward for your hard work
