SEC-S30W4: Building a Fable | Crow and the Old Mango Tree

In a village of a small town there lived a clever crow Kaga. He strut his stuff to the pigeons and sparrows.

 
He often sat on an old mango tree whom the villagers had named manga with large branches, which offered cool shade to farmers and sweet, juicy fruits to anyone who asked nicely. Manga was different as he talked less but stood patiently.

One hot afternoon, when Caga was flying in the sky a hard wind caught him during his flight and brought him down straight onto Manga's branches.

"Oof! Help, my wing's are hurting!" Kaga said, asking for Manga's helpl.

Manga said, "Don't worry, my friend. Settle in my shade, You are well covered here and you will get well soon."

Kaga rested there for few days in care of Manga's treat and saved himself from rain and sun under his thick leaves.

Soon Kaga felt better, he got back to his boasting habit again. "You're a real friend dear Manga but, why wait for these fruits to ripen? I can go to the market and sell them for cash!"

Manga chuckled through his branches. "Nah, good things take time. Ripe ones fetch the real price. Patience is the secret juice."

Kaga looked at him, "Patience? That's not for us clever guys. Just watch what I can do!"

On the next market day Caga plucked a lot of green mangoes and reached to the market. "Fresh mangoes, cheap! Come on, I am selling them cheap" A crowd rushed in, but after one bite they felt bad, "These are sour as lemons!"

Customers tasted them but they were not happy with sour fruits so being angry they threw them at him and asked for their money back.

Kaga came back home, his beak drooped, He was sad and disappointed!

Manga looked at him, "Rough day, eh?"

Kaga said, "I tried to sell the mangoes but the fruits are not ready as yet."

"You are right, and I told you so" Manga said. "If you rush the things especially ripeness, then it all turns bitter like I never try to gulp the earth's water in one go, but suck it slowly through my roots."

Soon the summer time came, and Manga's mangoes became ready and sweet. Soon villagers started approaching Manga and said, "We need your fruits dear Manga so we'll buy mangoes from you as always!"

Kaga watched everything quietly, he was learning fast.

Then trouble brewed as a woodcutter eyed Manga's timber. Kaga heard them and ran to the headman, and said, "Save Manga, he is in trouble!He shades us all and feeds the kids!"

The headman rallied the folks, and the cutter fled. From then on, Kaga had changed and no more boasting. He'd bring and teach birds how to scatter seeds and to wait patiently for the harvest to ripen properly.

"You see the friends will always stick around and guard you but you must be patient," he'd say.

The village liked those mangoes as usual, and Kaga? Now he had become friendly with all the birds.

Moral of the story- Patience brings the best rewards but haste makes things worse.
