The Crow and the Oyster Tiram

“The Crow and the Oyster Tiram”

One day, a hungry crow saw an oyster on the beach. He wanted to eat the tasty meat inside the shell, so he tried to open the oyster.

First,he used his beak, but he could not open the shell .Then he hit it with a stone, but shell stayed tightly shut. He even jumped up and down on the oyster, but still he could not open it.

Then, another crafty crow came by. He saw what the first crow was trying to do and said, ”my friend, may I offer you some good advice? I suggest you to pick up the oyster in your beak, fly high into the air and then drop the oyster onto the rocks below. The oyster shell will break open and you will be able to have your meal!”

The hungry crow thought that this was a very good idea. He picked up the oyster with his beak and then he flew as high as he could.When he was sure that he was high enough, he dropped the oysteronto the rocks far below.

The oyster shell broke wide open. However, the crafty crow was waiting behind the rock nearby, and he reached the broken oyster first. He enjoyed a tasty meal while the hungry crow had nothing to eat.
