The Crow And The Woodpecker

There was crow, we call him Kaak Thought him a fool but he was dark One day he was thirsty, Flew for water On patrol, far he saw “There lies one pitcher” Went near; at his astonishment, Elixir was at the bottom Around it, pebbles phantom (He remembered the story and shivered) He shivered and laughed and flew again I will do something, some bargain? (I’ll not put the pebbles on it, he kept in mind) On due course a woodpecker is seen, Called notoriously but looked serious. “Come here joker I ‘ll take you there Where your brother is hid Into the pitcher there Lay unattended with a lid. Birds of feather, flew together And finally reached the spot. There Pecker seen the shadow As his own image and assumed. ‘Here you have to make a hole To save life this is the only goal’ As the hole is made by the Pecker Kaak dragged back the joker “Let me search, where is he” Put his neck inside and drank “Ah! to be very frank You also drink the water The elixir Lovely joker, dear brother, Look! Human being They call us fool, the fool They would have drunk alone Leaving you Forlorn What harm to them, If we die….. “”Killing their brethren without any shy””
