An egg a day..kills!

Aichu's stories @ 5yrs:

Atop a coconut tree there was a nest and crow had laid its eggs..the crow typically wakes up and flies by around 10 to find food for the day. She generally returns by afternoon. One such day, when she returned she saw an egg missing. She was very very sad..she was looking forward for that kid to come out..after a day of mourning..she was hungry and again flew out..when she came back, again an egg was missing ..she understood that someone is closely watching her and then taking her eggs when she leaves..next day at 10, she again flew out but this time she went and hid in the branches of a nearby mango tree..she waited, waited n nothing happened..she took some bites of a ripened mango n came back..she was happy that she didn’t loose any egg that day..next day she gain flew to the same mango tree..n after 15mins, she saw someone coming towards the nest..A Cobra..almost 10ft long..he came in very close to the nest..n the crow dashed towards the nest and gave a nasty bite to the cobra..he never expected crow to be back. Alarmed and with full of aggression he was now ready for a fight..He swirled across the trunk n frantically chased the wings of the crow..the crow too used deceptive flight patterns to be away from each hit..finally crow did a barrel roll attack maneuver and got a bite rite in its hood. That was a hard hit n the cobra came slipping down the the coco tree..it slowly treaded to its hole and the crow was in no mood to let the fight go..she chased n did couple more bites n flew back to the nest. Crow was happy n relieved but knew that it isn’t safe anymore..she wanted the kids to be safe..next day she ventured out for a different purpose..she flew high n wide n got what she wanted..A small American tourister..she took it and brought it to the nest..packed the eggs in it and then flew to her husband..who’s in a L1 visa at US.

She loved her family too..

Aichu's Stories @ 5years:

Once upon a time there was a nice tile roofed home in a forest. Mom, dad and their son lived there. Alongwith them in their house there was a small pond with 3 turtles. Mom, dad and the Daughter turtle. 

Bringing food to the table was the biggest chore on Dad n mom’s everyday life. Son most days remained at home watching TV, doing legos or playing with the drer turtle. For a series of days the Mom n dad couldnt find enough food for the family. They were starving. Finally the only way to survive was to kill the turtles n have it as their food. Without much thought n with minimal pain they killed the big 2 turtles and boiled them for a soup. 
Mom, Dad and Son were sad but they had to do it. Son requested his parents that the Dter turtle should never be killed and they agreed. Turtle soup was good for couple of weeks, the dter turtle looked sad and spent most times at a corner chewing whatever dry grass she was provided.

Past a month..the family had to go out for food again..They went far n wide in the wood and finally stoned down a rabbit. That’s their meal for couple of weeks. They were happy and came running back to home. It was almost and the home was pitch black. Mom lighted a wick and searched for their son..he wasnt there. Mom & Dad were tensed n started searching around - in the bedroom, in the kitchen, in the living room..their son was nowhere. Dter turtle was unusually active and the waves it made broke the eerie silence..Dad stared at the turtle n then slowly turned his sight to the chair near the pond..That’s unusual..

A skeleton was sitting on the chair..

It wasnt big nor was it small..it was strangely familiar. he stepped closer..and gently touched one of the broken teeth..the skeleton trembled, pointed its finger towards the pond n gently whispered to the dad "I was eaten by the dter turtle n before i closed my eyes for the last time..it said that she loved her family too" 😳
