One day, a Bird Catcher was setting
traps upon a meadow. A beautiful Lark sat on a tree and watched him from a
distance.
The Lark became curious and asked
the Bird Catcher, “What are you doing?”
The Bird Catcher thought, if he
could fool the Lark into his trap, he would be able to sell it for a good
price.
He thought for a while and said, “0
Lark, I plan to build a colony for all birds and I am laying the foundation of
my first house.”
After laying the trap, the Bird
Catcher went to a nearby spot and hid himself in the bushes.
Meanwhile, the Lark who had
believed the man, flew down to the trap.
After swallowing the bait, the Lark
tried to fly away but found himself caught in the Bird Catcher’s trap.
While the Lark was struggling to
get away, the Bird Catcher came and put him in a cage.
“You are a cunning fellow!”
exclaimed the Lark. “If this is the kind of colony you are going to build, then
you wouldn’t find many birds to settle down.”
Never trust your enemies.
