because a big black cobra used to eat their eggs. One day the crane went to his friend
“ the crab” and shared his misery. After the crab knew all about it , it replied : “Don’t
worry," “ I have a wonderful plan “.The crane flew back to his nest and told his wife all
about the crab’s plan. The crane went to the river bank and began to fish. He caught
several little fishes and went down to the hole in which a mongoose lived. He dropped a
fish at the mouth of the hole, and so on until he got a “fishes trial” which led where the
black Cobra lived. The mongoose smelt the fish and came out of the hole to get them .
He then followed the trail of fishes. When the trail ended, finding no more , he looked
around and found the back Cobra . Both fought for a long time and in the end the
mongoose killed the snake. The cranes who were watching the fight from their nest
sighed with relief, ignoring that the next day the mongoose would follow the same trail
searching more food and finding nothing , he decided to climb the tree where the
cranes’ nest was. When the cranes returned they discovered the mongoose had eaten
up all their eggs , and they finally exclaimed …...“We got rid of one enemy only to find
another”.
