long ago in a lush green forest there was a huge neem tree
the neem tree was a home for countless birds in the forest
since it was a cool place many birds preferred to stay in the tree
an old vulture lived near the tree it did not have a nest on its own
he was half blind as it was old
every day he used to watch the bird living happily on the Neem tree
as they did not have friends he felt very lonely
one day an yellow bird was watching the vulture from the neem tree the bird felt sad seeing the poor vulture
the yellow bird decide to speak with his friends and bring the vulture to the neem tree
one day he was discussing with the other birds of the tree
dear friends I have a request and I think you'll accept what's that
have you all seen the vulture in the next tree yes I see him every day why do you see like that he's old and half blind
he cannot even search for food I want him to bring to our tree what do you say
of course but he is a vulture since he is blind I don't think he can harm us
all right let's bring him let him stay with us from today
the sparrow crow and other birds join together and met the vulture
welcome dear friends what has made all of you to come to this tree Iam pleasantly surprised
dear friend we are not happy to see you suffering when we all have good food and good nest
it's very sad to see you in a dry tree toiling without food
so we have decided to give a nest for you in our tree
so that you can enjoy the lovely breeze and have a good company of friends
I am greatly delighted to hear this news
I thank you for your kindness you can join us from tomorrow a nest is kept ready for you
next day the vulture went to the big neem tree and made his home
he was very happy there all the birds helped him with fruits and nuts
the vulture was very kind to all the young birds
one day a cat saw the vulture on the tree it was a long time wish for the cat to taste the young birds of the tree
but it was not possible for the cat as he was not able to go near the tree
after seeing the vulture an idea sparkled in it's mind
he slowly approached the vulture great sir I am greatly delighted to see you here
I know you are the largest of the birds perhaps I can say you are the king of birds
the vulture was extremely happy to hear this
thank you sir how do you stay in this small nest with the other small birds in this tree
dear friend all these young birds are my friends
they help me a lot since I am not able to see properly that's why I stay here
oh I'm sorry I am also want to help you let me bring some good meat and fish for you everyday
no no don't trouble yourself I get everything here
sir you are a powerful bird you will certainly need meat
what are these birds are get for you they can get you only fruits and nuts
dear friend I am happy about your concern but I don't want anything now
I will come and meet you tomorrow
the next day the cat came to the tree and handed over a small fish to the vulture
and had a nice time chatting with the vulture
the crow who had accidentally returned that afternoon saw that cat chatting up with the vulture
he was waiting patiently for the cat to leave and he met the vulture
friend why is the cat coming here
why? what happened?
don't you know that the cat is the biggest enemy of the birds
you have invited him and having a good time with him
don't make things serious
he is a poor cat he wants just wants to be friends that's why he has come to me
he is very cunning better keep him away
all the birds trust you and are leaving their young ones in the nest here
I am much older than you and I know whom to believe and whom not to
the crow left the place
the cat started coming regularly to meet the vulture
after a weeks time the cat killed one of the young bird
ate him and threw the bones in the nest of the vulture
in a few days it ate around four to five birds
all the birds were shocked but they were not able to find the culprit
on searching one of the birds found some bones in the vultures nest
the bones of our young ones are in the vulture's nest
the birds came rushing to the nest of the vulture
the vulture was not able to see properly
and so did not see the bones in the nest vulture we trusted you so much but you have shown your true colors
you should not be in the forest for another minute get away from here
go away right now
dear friends i did not do anything please don't drive me from here
I saw a cat who was talking to the vulture
perhaps it must have been him please leave the vulture
you keep quite the bones are here so he is the culprit
the birds draw away the vulture from the nest
the vulture was helpless and was in tears
wrong friendship will always lead to bad things
it was a silvery stream flowing in the thick forest
and ant was busy collecting food on the banks of the river
suddenly the ants slipped and it felt into the stream
the ant was struggling for life moving up and down the stream
Oh help help oh I'm dying help
a dove sitting on the tree saw the ant drowning
oh what a pitiable creature I should do something to save him
the duck plucked the leaf and threw it down into the stream
the ant climbed onto it and floated in safety to the bank
Oh God thank you thank you friend
you are welcome
days passed
every day the aunt used to come to the bank for collecting food
even the dove used to give a few nuts to the ant
the ant and the dove became good friends
one day the dove was busy cracking nuts
sitting on the tree and the ant was carrying its food to its place
suddenly the ant stopped in its tracks after seeing a hunter
the hunter was aiming his arrow at the dove
oh no I should save my friend I should do something
the ant bit the hunter hard in the foot
ah...ohh.....stupid ant
the noise caught the dove attention of the dove the dove flew away from the tree
the ant scurried to hide behind a tree
shh...I've missed the dove
I should at least killed that stupid ant
Hmmm my friend is saved
the ant moved away from its hiding place and was back on duty
