Once upon a time, a crow couple lived in a nest on the top of a tree. Unfortunately, a serpent lived at its bottom and he crawled up the tree and ate all the eggs. The crow couple were deeply grieved and when this happened time after time they decided to come up with a plan to get rid of the serpent.
The father crow approached his friend the jackal and asked for a plan. The jackal told him to go and fetch a costly thing from the king’s palace and to throw the thing into the snake’s burrow. The crow went to palace and stole the queen’s necklace while she was bathing. The palace guards ran after him. The crow then dropped the necklace into the snake’s burrow beneath the tree.
When they reached the bottom of the tree, the guards found the necklace guarded by the serpent. They then lynched the serpent and recovered the necklace.
The crow family was happy that their eggs were now safe.
