This is a story about a flock of wild geese which lives happily at the top of the tree among the flock one bird was wise old bird. One day that wise old bird noticed a creeper at the foot of the tree and conveyed this to its flock. But the young birds didn’t respond to it and leave that issue as it is.
The creeper grew stronger and stronger and began winding its way up the tree. One morning when the flock went out for fodder a hunter came to the forest and climbed up the tree and spread his nest over there then he climbed down and went away.
When the geese returned home in the evening they didn’t notice the net as they flew into the tree they were trapped. The wise bird said, I told you to destroy the creeper but you did not, now you see what happened? Tomorrow morning the hunter will come back and kill us all. Oh! “We’re foolish” replied the geese. “Don’t worry you are my family,” replied the wise bird. Then listen carefully when the hunter come back we all must pretend to be dead just lie still. The hunter will not want dead birds so he will throw us to the ground then it will be easy for him to climb down and collect the dead birds, and take them home. When the last of us has been thrown down we must quickly get up and fly away.
The next morning the hunter came to the forest and climbed up the tree he looked at the geese in the net. “They are all dead” he muttered to himself. He threw them out of the net one by one. The birds lay still until the last one had been thrown down. Then, all at once, got up, flapped their wings and flew away. He watched all the geese fly away from the top of the tree.
At the end of this story children learnt to collaborate more with others, work as a team, respect elders and do work on time.
