    The crow and sparrow bought a farm together but agreed to share the crops. However, the crow was lazy and made excuses each time the sparrow asked for help with tasks like ploughing, sowing, watering, harvesting, threshing and winnowing the wheat. The sparrow completed all the hard work alone. When it came time to sell the crops, the crow mistakenly tried to sell the worthless chaff instead of the grain, while the sparrow successfully sold all the grain. The sparrow ended up with money while the crow was left with only chaff.

    Fable Story - The Crow and The Sparrow

    Once upon a time, a crow and a sparrow bought a farm. They agreed to work
    together, and share the crops they grew on their field. One day the sparrow woke up
    early and called up the crow, We must plough the land today and prepare it for the
    wheat.
    The crow thought for a while and answered:
    You go ahead, oh sparrow,
    Ill put some gold on my beak
    And some shoes on my feet,
    And then Ill follow after.
    So the sparrow worked hard, but the crow never when to the fields. The next day
    the sparrow said, We must sow the seeds today. The crow answered,
    You go ahead, oh sparrow,
    Ill put some gold on my beak
    And some shoes on my feet,
    And then Ill follow after.
    So the sparrow went to plant the seeds. She worked hard and she worked hard
    alone.
    After some time, when the wheat shoots came out of the ground, the sparrow said
    to the crow, We must water out the plants today. But the crow answered.
    You go ahead, oh sparrow,
    Ill put some gold on my beak
    And some shoes on my feet,
    And then Ill follow after.
    So the sparrow watered all the plants by herself. It was hard and heavy work.
    The crow never went near the fields to help.
    As the days passed, the wheat grew tall. It turned into a beautiful golden colour.
    Soon it was ready to be cut. The sparrow said to the crow,
    Now its time to reap. We must go and cut our wheat.
    The crow answered:
    You go ahead, oh sparrow,
    Ill put some gold on my beak
    And some shoes on my feet,
    And then Ill follow after.
    The sparrow flew away. She was sad and disappointed. All day long she cut the
    wheat. By nightfall, she had tied it all up in bundles. And she was very tired.
    The next day the sparrow said, There are clouds in the sky. We must finish the
    threshing before it rains or the wheat will be spoilt. We must beat the wheat so that the
    grains fall out. The crow repeated again:
    You go ahead, oh sparrow,
    Ill put some gold on my beak
    And some shoes on my feet,
    And then Ill follow after.
    For almost a week the sparrow worked day and night. She threshed the grains of
    wheat. And for almost a week the crow stayed at home and rested. When the threshing
    was done, the sparrow said, Only the winnowing is left. We must finish it before a dust-
    storm blows our wheat away. We must shake the grain out of the shell. And the crow
    answered:
    You go ahead, oh sparrow,
    Ill put some gold on my beak
    And some shoes on my feet,
    And then Ill follow after.
    So the sparrow went to the field alone. She separated the wheat into to heaps.
    One heap was made of all the rubbish waste and shells. It was very big. The other was
    made of grain. It was very small. When all the work was done, the crow said:
    Today Im in a mood work,
    I dont want to moan,
    I know that selling grain is hard
    So Ill work and Ill work alone.
    The lazy crow had done no work, but now he when and stood near the biggest
    pile. The silly crow did not know the difference between grain and chaff. Although the
    pile of chaff was much bigger, it was not use for eating. It was all the rubbish. The
    sparrow was angry. You silly crow, she thought, I will have all the grain.
    When the buyers came the sparrow called out, Who wants to buy my grain?
    Grain for sale.
    Soon it was all sold, and the sparrow had lots of money.
    Then it was the crows turn, Who wants to buy my food? Food for sale.
    Everyone laughed at him. Ho! Ho! Ho! Who wants to buy that heap of rubbish? they
    jeered. Do you think were so stupid?
    They walked away and he was left alone. He had no money but just a big pile of
    chaff. And then it was sparrows turn to say to the crow,
    Today youre in a mood to cry
    But mines a mood to laugh
    We bought this farm together
    Now you enjoy your half
