Try to write a story that you may have heard before using the following points (in about 80 words):
(Crow --- finds meat --- flies to a tree --- a clever fox-sees --- says crow to sing --- crow sings --- meat falls --- fox takes --- crow sad --- flies away.)
The Foolish Crow and The Clever Fox
Once a crow was flying
for a long time. He became very hungry. Suddenly he found a piece of meat and
flew off with it and settled on a branch of a tree. A hungry fox passing by saw
it. He decided to have the meat. Then he said to the crow, “Oh! My dear crow, how beautiful you are looking
today! Surely your voice must also be very sweet. Please sing a song for me!”
The foolish crow opened its mouth to sing and the meat fell down. At once the
clever fox picked it up and ran away with it.
