From Behind the StorieS
Once, there was a dule of doves. The doves used to fly together to far off distances.
They often looked for food together. One morning, a hunter came into the forest
over which the doves were flying. He laid a net to catch the birds.
Hunter: (to himself) I will quietly spread this net and catch as many birds as
I can to sell them off.
He covered the net with dry grass and spread grains over it. He hid himself behind
a tree and waited for birds to get trapped. About an hour passed, but no bird sat on
it. Soon, the doves spotted the grains.
1 dove: Look! So many grains!
st
2 dove: That is good! Our search for food ends here.
nd
3 dove: Wait! I think there is something wrong. Who could throw the grains
rd
here in the middle of the forest?
1 dove: You are too suspicious. Maybe, a farmer was passing through the
st
jungle and he accidentally dropped the grains here.
