Once upon a time, the temperature during summer increased so much. It resulted in scarcity of food and water. A group of birds staying together on a banyan tree were using their stock foods that they have stored long ago.


After few days, they all had a meeting. The king told, "We should roam here and there regularly to collect food for the upcoming days otherwise our stock food will over and we would not left with anything else". Everybody agreed and next day onward they all went together and collected few grains whenever possible.


One day, all were flying high in the sky. Suddenly a bird told, "Look at there at the ground, there are plenty of grains". Come on let's collect it. Everyone were so excited looking over there but suddenly the king asked, "in this hot summer, where availability of little food is being difficult, so much grains together at a time does not seem to be something unusual?" Other birds said, "no dear king, we are lucky to get such grains, without any delay we should move towards them". No body listened to the king and all went down. Being the leader, the king also went down still having a doubt in his mind.


All of them were busy in collecting the grains. When they were almost done and tried to fly, they could not. Feeling difficulty in flying, they observed that all of them were trapped in a net. Now the king said, "I was telling you, not to get attracted and excited but none of you listened me". I think it is plan of a hunter to catch us.


All the birds were frightened and asked the king for help. The king was also thinking how to rescue all of them. All of sudden he observed a hole on the ground and remembered his friend mouse is staying in that. He called his friend for help. Mouse came out of the hole, listened the matter from the king and promised to help them.

Mouse along his friends started cutting the net with their sharp teeth as faster as they can. Through this all the birds got rescued. They all thanked mouse and his friends. At the same time they felt sorry to their king and told that they will never ignore his words
