Once upon a time in a village, there existed a flower garden. There were few tall trees around the garden and birds lived on them. A pigeon lived in a hole of a tree's trunk. The pigeon became friend with a cock, which comes to the garden daily for fodder. They both met everyday and used to chat for sometime.One day, a hunter who was going on that way, saw the cock. He was tempted on seeing cock. He felt happy as he got the food with out much work and he can return home and rest for the day. He slowly went to the cock, caught it and put it in a bag which he was carrying with him. The cock shouted loudly with fear. The pigeon heard the cock and understood what has happened. It immediately flew ahead of the hunter and fell on ground as dead, slightly away from hunter. The hunter felt he was lucky for the day and he can have feast that day. He placed the bag aside and went close to pigeon. In the meanwhile, the cock which was waiting for an opportunity, came out and ran from the place. The pigeon flew away, just before the hunter could catch it. He was shocked and scolded the pigeon for cheating him. He turned around and found that the bag was empty. He scolded himself for being greedy. The cock which hid itself amid bushes, thanked its friend for saving its life.
