On the banks of a beautiful pond, there stood lush green trees. Many

cranes lived in one of these trees. A snake also lived in the hollow trunk of that

tree. Everyday, he would slither up the tree and eat a few baby cranes. As the

tears. The poor crane narrated his tragic story to his friend crab. Both together

hatched a plan to kill the snake.
