9. A Greedy Fox

 

A Greedy Fox

There was a small village. It was very beautiful. The village was covered by green trees. A small river was flowing through the village. The villagers were peace-loving. They were sociable. They were very helpful to each other. They lived very simply. They love their village very much. So, they worked hard in arm and arm to develop their village.

In this village, there were a cock and a dog. They were best friends to each other. They loved each other very much.

One day they made a plan to visit many countries. They started their travel. After walking for hours, they reached a forest. The sun went down. The forest became full of darkness. The cock took refuge in the breach of a tree. And the dog took shelter in the hole of that tree.

The night became dawn. The cock began singing. Hearing the song a fox came there. He said to the cock that his voice was very sweet. He was fond of his golden voice. Telling this, the fox requested the cock to come down. But the cock was very intelligent. Understanding the cunning fox's intention the cock told the fox to call his bodyguard who was in the hole of that tree. The fox thought that there was another cock. So, he readily jumped at the hole. Then the dog caught the fox and killed it instantly.

Finally, the cock saved his life with his ready wit. Then the cock and the dog, his best friend started traveling again.
