THE CHIPPY QUAILS
@@@@@@@@@@@
Once upon a time,a large number of quails dwelt in a certain forest.They were a happy lot.Their leader was a very intelligent and prudent bird.They were passing their days blithely.
As the ill luck would have it,a nimrod used to come daily into the forest and by mimicking the sound of the quail,entice the birds,then spread his net over the gullible birds and incarcerated them and carried them home.
This became a daily routine.Consequently,the number of the quails started dwindling by leaps and bounds.This made their leader chew the cud to find a remedy for grappling with the problem.He advised his flock:
"Dear chums,henceforth,when the hunter spreads his net and you are snared,then grip a portion of the net by your beaks.Then soaring upwards simultaneously,deposit the net on a thorny bush.While the hunter gets engrossed in realising the net from the bush,all of you flee instantaneously."
The quails followed this advice seriously.Next time when they were trapped,they lifted the net all together and flew with it to a thorny bush.When the hunter arrived and released the net from the bush,all the birds made made god their escape in the twinkling of an eye.Thus the quails managed to save themselves for a long time.However as the time passed,they grew a tad lethargic and became vainglorious and thought themselves to be invincible.
One day ,as they were entrapped in the net,a quail by accident trampled upon the foot of another quail.The two began wrangling and soon other also joined in and there was an open warfare .A veritable bedlam was let loose.
Their leader seeing this trilled to himself,"If the pugnacious birds continue this way,they might not be able to escape the net.In sheer desperation,he jettisoned the forest lock,stock and barrel to seek shelter elsewhere.
Then shortly after the hunter spread his net,a large number of the quails were trapped.But instead of flying with the net to a thorny bush,the quails indulged into fueds.
"Why don't you lift the net?"yelled one at another.
"Why don't you?"retorded the other with ire.
AS it continued, the hunter arrived and it was too late for the quails to escape.
The hunter made a good catch that day and his spouse let out a yowl of joy to see the catch.
