Title: The Crow’s Lesson on Honesty

Once upon a time, in a lush green forest, there lived a crow. The crow was known for his wit and cunning but had a bad habit of stealing. One day, while flying over a village, the crow spotted a shiny piece of jewelry lying on the ground. The temptation was too great for the crow, and he swooped down and picked it up in his beak.

As he flew back to the forest, the crow felt guilt in his heart. He knew that stealing was wrong, but he couldn’t resist the lure of the shiny object. When he reached the forest, he flew to his nest and hid the jewelry. He felt relieved that no one had seen him.

The next day, the crow heard a commotion in the village. People were searching for a missing piece of jewelry, and a reward was offered for its return. The crow knew he had the missing jewelry, but he also knew he had to return it. He realized that stealing was not only wrong but also not worth the guilt and shame that came with it.

So, the crow flew back to the village and dropped the jewelry in front of the owner’s house. The owner was overjoyed and rewarded the crow with some nuts and fruits. The crow felt proud of himself for doing the right thing and learning a valuable lesson about honesty.

From that day on, the crow never stole again. He became known as an honest bird, and other animals admired him for his moral character. The crow realized that honesty was the best policy and always paid off.

Moral: Honesty is always the best policy.
