The crane
Transcript
00:00In a peaceful forest near a sparkling river, there lived many birds, but two stood out
00:06among them all, a clever crow named Kalu and a graceful crane named Chandri.
00:12Kalu was sharp and full of wit.
00:14He loved puzzles, pranks, and finding clever ways to solve problems.
00:20Chandri, on the other hand, was elegant and wise.
00:24She moved with grace, spoke kindly, and believed in thinking before acting.
00:29Though very different, the two birds were good friends.
00:32Every morning, Kalu would call loudly from the treetops,
00:36and Chandri would glide down from the sky to join him.
00:40One hot summer, the river began to dry.
00:44Day by day, the water shrank into muddy puddles, and food became harder to find.
00:49The animals grew thirsty and anxious.
00:52One morning, the forest woke to alarming news.
00:55The big pond in the center of the forest had been claimed by a group of bossy geese.
01:02They wouldn't let anyone else drink unless they paid with food or shiny treasures.
01:07Kalu was furious.
01:08That's not fair.
01:09Water should be for everyone.
01:12Chandri nodded thoughtfully.
01:14We must find a way to help the others.
01:16Kalu, always ready with a plan, grinned.
01:19I have an idea.
01:23That night, he flew to the pond and watched the geese.
01:26He noticed they had a weakness.
01:28They loved shiny things and were easily distracted.
01:33The next day, Kalu flew high above the forest, calling loudly to all the birds and animals.
01:39I need help, he said.
01:41If we all work together, we can outsmart the greedy geese.
01:46Chandri helped by flying far and wide, gathering shiny stones, bits of glass,
01:52and even a few coins left behind by travelers.
01:55Together with the other forest creatures,
01:58they created a trail of shiny treasures leading far away from the pond.
02:04The next morning, Kalu flew to the pond and shouted,
02:07Hey! Geese!
02:09There's a hidden treasure nearby, and only the cleverest birds will find it.
02:13The geese, proud and greedy, followed the shiny trail.
02:18They waddled and flapped their wings, chasing after every sparkle.
02:23As soon as they were far enough, Chandri signaled the others.
02:27The forest animals rushed to the pond and began drinking and splashing joyfully.
02:33When the geese finally returned, puffed and tired, they found the pond full of animals,
02:39and Chandri standing calmly.
02:42This pond belongs to everyone, she said firmly.
02:45Greed has no place here.
02:47The geese grumbled, but with Kalu watching from above and all the animals united,
02:52they knew they had lost.
02:54From that day on, the pond remained open to all.
02:59Kalu became known not just for his clever tricks, but for his big heart.
03:03Chandri was admired for her wisdom and grace.
03:06And so, the clever crow and the graceful crane taught the forest a lesson,
03:12that brains and kindness together are stronger than greed.
03:26So, the type of partoka castleana was a perfect step.
03:29And so, the genealogy of the ocean, the sea wall is a perfect step.
03:31And so, the ocean has been brought up with the region.
03:33After the finding of the sea wall to the sea wall, we were able to watch the line.
03:35So, the wind will lead to the sea wall for every single time.
03:37The sea wall realtĂ  is about a feeling of the sand.
03:38Now!
03:39Since the raven looks of the sky wall, it's about the sand.
03:40Since the sea wall NĂ€lan's on the sea wall, it's about the sea wall.
03:41You can see that it is for the sea wall.
03:43Black heaven was about to the sea wall, the sea wall.
03:45And so, the sea wall was about to the sea wall.
03:46I was about to remind you that.
03:49You can see that.
03:50That's the same wall.
