Once there was a bird called “Tailor” who lived on a big mango tree. “Tailor” was a busy little bird who took good care of his family. He was always moving in and out of his cozy little nest looking for insects to feed his little ones or collecting grass to strengthen his nest from the approaching winter. In the same tree, there was a crow called “Crook” who was very lazy and spent all his time sleeping or gossiping with the other birds in the neighborhood. Many times Tailor advises Crook, “Please repair your nest. The monsoon is soon approaching and the heavy winds could blow it away”. “Crook” would say “You worry too much Tailor”. You must learn to enjoy life. I can get it done immediately. After all, it is a small hole. As the days went by, the hole in “Crook’s” nest grew bigger and bigger and it was in danger of falling apart. One day there was heavy thunder and lightning and it started raining. It was then that “Crook” realized that his family was in great danger. “Crook” flew from tree to tree looking for twigs and tiny sticks to repair his nest, while “Tailor” sat comfortably in his nest. He flew here and there to save his home and almost collapsed in exhaustion. Finally, “Tailor” also gave a helping hand and helped “Crook” rebuild his nest. “Crook” realized his foolishness and promised-never again postpone any work that required immediate attention. Thereafter, the crow “Crook” did all those things which required immediate attention and action. Both “Tailor and Crook” lived happily as friends.
