Once upon a time, there lived a big falcon on a high mountain rock. Down in the field, there lived a black crow on a banyan tree.
One day the falcon saw a rabbit on the ground. He swooped down and caught the rabbit with his talons and flew back to its nest on the mountain rock.
The black crow saw the falcon from a distance. It thought to catch the rabbit in the same way. What a joke it was to watch the falcon pick up the rabbit from the ground! Now I will catch it myself.
The crow thought to itself and flew high in the sky. Then, it swooped down with great force upon a rabbit sitting on the ground. But its fly was not correctly aimed to catch the rabbit. Instead of catching the rabbit, it dashed against a big rock near to the rabbit. Its head cracked and it died on the spot.
Moral: never imitate others in a foolish manner.
