Once, there lived an arrogant Owl together with his companions in a dark and dismal home in the mountains. The Owl would look with deep envy upon the Birds who were living in wonderful nests they had built in a beautiful tree below.

One night, when the birds were asleep, the Owl and his companions attacked the Birds and wounded them grievously. They drove the Birds away and took possession of the Birds’ nests in the beautiful tree.

The distraught Birds called a conclave in which they debated how they should retaliate. The Owl sent one of his companions to the conclave in disguise, to spy upon the Birds. The Crow, who had also been evicted from the tree, recognised the spy.

The Crow had a secret discussion with the leader of the Birds and hatched a plan. The Crow spoke in praise of the Owl in the conclave. The other Birds turned against the Crow for doing so. They beat up the Crow and drove him away.

When the Owl learnt of this, he took the injured Crow into his home and tended to him. The Owl took care of the Crow and nursed him back to health. The Owl’s motive in doing so was to extract the secrets and the plots of the Birds from the Crow. The Owl’s companions warned him against his actions and advised him to kill the Crow who was their enemy, but the arrogant Owl refused.

After the Crow had recovered, he pledged his undying loyalty to the Owl and said he would do anything for his new master. The Crow said he was a lowly creature, of a stature beneath the Owl and his companions. Hence, he would live outside the gate of his master’s residence and stay guard over his master’s abode. The Owl grew even more puffed up and agreed.

The Crow gather a pile of dry wood outside the Owl’s home, pretending to build his humble dwelling with them. In the day-time, when the Owl and his companions were asleep, the leader of Birds picked up a flaming stick from a fire in the village and flew with it to the tree. He dropped it on the dry wood piled up by the Crow outside the Owl’s home and set fire to it. The Owl and his companions perished in the blaze.

Thus, the Birds regained their beloved homes in the beautiful tree.
