MAN AND CROW

I am a Crow. I am a bird. I am not esteemed in the bird community. Human beings also abhor me. I am not envied any where in this world. What are the reasons behind this aversion? Why are you so annoyed from me? Have you ever pondered over it?
No, no, never. What an absurd idea! Why should I observe the black and obnoxious bird? I do not even want to see you. I do not want to hear your voice. You are advising me to ponder over a minor creature. I am a man the most superior creature of the earth. I have no time to pay heed to your absurd advice.

But today I will tell you the truth-the bitter truth, either you are ready or not .Listen! I am a crow. I am hungry all the time. Often I snatch eatables from the starved children suffering from famines. I have no sympathy but only for myself. I snatch the offspring of birds and eat them with relish. I am still hungry and eat stale and stinging curry. My hunger does not mitigate and I eat the pieces of rotten meat. I am hungrier I do not spare even the dirt of the ears and eyes of the cows, bulls, buffaloes and donkeys. I even sip out the soaring wounds of the blighted animals.

The more I eat the more I want. I am always on the way to find some thing to eat .My stomach is never filled. It is always burning with hunger. I fly here and there all the day to get something to eat. I get things to eat whole the day but nothing can satisfy me t. I am always hungry and do not spare the filth depots. From dawn to dusk I wander in the city, village and the filth depots to glut my stomach.

Night comes and forces me to go to my nest. I spend restless night waiting for the early dawn. When it is dawn I again go out to fall on the eatables. I wonder why I am so hungry. Why my belly is not filled with all kinds of stuffs.Only the darkness prevents me from going out for eating some thing. If I see a thing to eat with other crows I try my best to snatch it. I fight for it and in this fight the thing is often wasted or goes to the hands of third party.


The filth has polluted my mind and contaminated my blood. There isn’t the thing called honor or respect with me. I face a lot of humiliation without feeling of insult or injury. I am shoed off a lot of times from all the places but I again go there. These are the reasons which have earned disgrace for me in the world. I am an abominable creature and no one likes to become my acquaintance. I am a crow the black bird .I am exemplified as the odious thing in the world of birds.


All these notorious traits aside yet I have a good quality too. I can not bear the atrocities on the crows. I make a hue and cry even for that crow which has just snatched away my piece of meat. I try my best to save that fellow from death. I do every thing to save him from the enemy.


But you the human beings are even devoid of this quality. You possess all my traits yet are called the superior creature of the earth. Lust, avarice, cruelty and all other crimes are shared by us. The only good thing in me that I love my community is not found in you. You do not take care of your fellow humans .Now decide the matter yourself; who is worse, a man or a crow???
