learning English by story
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.

Rajiyappa loved to play football from his childhood; but unfortunately he was not a good player and no one wanted to take him in the team. He wanted to be a footballer of “Gajendra”, which was the name of the village as well as the local football team and also wanted to win many trophies. His dream remained intangible. Consequently Rajiyappa stopped going to the football ground. He used to climb a tree which was far from the football ground and from there he watched football matches.  Days passed. Rajiyappa grew up and he tried to get chance in the college football team; but again he failed. Rajiyappa lost all his hope. After a few years Rajiyappa got married. Days passed. Rajiyappa never missed a single football match of his locality. His love for football remained unimpaired....

The fairies started to find that unknown Land of Gold. They were quite sure that they could not execute this impossible task and the Wasp King would punish them. When the sun was touching the horizon, the fairies sat on a cloud. They were ...
