The Story of The Pigeon and The Rat

Once upon a time, there lived a group of pigeons on a big tree. A group of rats also lived under the tree. 


The head of the pigeons and the head of the rats were very good friends.


The pigeons used to go in search of food in the daytime and return to the tree at night. 


One day while they were searching for food. One pigeon saw some grains spread on the ground. He shouted,” Look! There are a lot of grains spread on the ground. Come let's eat them.”


The head pigeon felt something fishy as there were no fields nearby. He told everyone not to go down to eat those grains.


But one pigeon said our heads used to doubt everything. We should eat grains. Pigeons did not listen to their heads and went down to eat grains.


As soon as they started eating grains, they found themselves in a net. They started crying for help as it was a trap of a birdcatcher.

Once they started flying together. They flew with the net and came to a safe place with the entire net. The head of the pigeon called his friend the rat and his group.
