Once upon the time, there was an old egret living in a remote pond. The egret was very weak and found it difficult to get food. So he pretended to be won-ied. In the meantime, there was a crab near the place that saw the egret looking sad. He asked the egret, "Why you are so upset, and have lost the appetite to search for food?"
The egret said, "Brother crab, the fish are my food. And I heard the villagers nearby said that all the fish in this pond would be netted. So I will surely die, for there will be no more fish to live on. That's why 1 am worried and have lost my appetite."
Hearing the egret say that the schools offish got frightened and asked the egret, "What shall we do to save our lives? Please help LIS find a way to save us all."
The egret responded, "No problem! T havc a way, but you all have to follow me. You shall all move to another pond, and I will carry each fish in my beak to that pond." The schools of fish agreed with the egret with glee. The old egret carried each fish in his beak and ate them all.
Then the crab said to the egret, "Brother Egret, can you help take me to live in that pond?" The old egret was so happy, for he wanted to eat crab for a change since he never ate the crab. He then carried the crab in his beak to another piece of land.
The crab was a smart creature. He was aware of the situation, glancing at ground and saw the fish bones scattered around. He thought to himself, "1 will surely die to be food for this egret!" He thought of a good trick by squeezing the egret's throat with his nippers till the egret died.
