Summary:
Once upon a time, a sparrow made friends with a crow. One day, they were hunting forfood, the crow spied some red peppers that were spread out on a mat to dry. “Look at those peppers”, said crow to the sparrow. “Let’s see who can eat the most.”, the sparrow laughed and agreed for the thought that the crow was joking. The sparrow ate each pepper fairly, but the crow cheated.
“I’ve won! Now I’m going to eat you!” Then at last, the sparrow realized that the crow was serious. “all right,”, he said. “ I’ll keep my promise but before you eat me, you must wash your beak, for everyone knows that you are a dirty bird and eat a lot of nasty things.”
So the crow went to the river and said:
“River! River! Give me water to wash my beak, to make myself neat, the sparrow to eat!” The river replied: “you want water? Very well, but everyone says you eat nasty things. If you want to wash your beak in my water, you must get a pot to put in it, and then, you can as much as water you like.”
The crow went to a farmer’s house nearby. The farmer’s wife was cooking nice in the courtyard. The crow said
“Farmer! Farmer! Give me fire to make a spade, to dig some clay, to fetch some water, to wash my beak, to make myself neat, the sparrow to eat!”
