Therefore, they decided to go to attend the marriage party together. On the day of the marriage started their journey early in the morning, so that they could cross the forest before darkness falls.

కాకి హంస కాగలదా? ఒక కాకి ఎ ప్పుడు హంసలను చూసి కుళ్ళు కునేది. వాటి తెల్లటి రెక్కలని, అందమైన రూపాన్ని చూసి కాకి బాధ పాడేది. ఎప్పుడు “నేనూ అలా వుంటే బాగుండేది! ఇలా నల్లగా వున్నాను” అనుకుంటూ వుండేది. ఒక రోజు కాకికి ఒక మూర్ఖమైన ఆలోచన కలిగింది. హంసల లాగానే తనూ నీళ్ళల్లో ఉంటూ, వాటిలా కలుపు మొక్కలు తింటూ, చెరువులో ఈత కొడుతూ వుంటే అదీ చాలా అందంగా అయిపోతున్దనుకుంది ఆ పిచ్చి కాకి. మొన్నాటి నుంచి నానా ప్రయత్నాలు చేసింది. గాలిలో ఎగరడం మానేసి నీళ్ళల్లో ఈత కొట్టడానికి తెగ ప్రయత్నం చేసింది. కాని కాకికి ఈత రాదు కదా! అలవాటు లేని కాలుకు మొక్కలు తింటే అవి పడక, తినలేక, పాపం కాకి చిక్కి సల్యమయిపోయింది. అయినా పాపం చాలా రోజులు అలాగే ప్రయత్నం చేసింది. కాని అందంగా తయారవడము కాదు కదా, ఉన్న బలం కూడా కోలి పోయింది. ఇంక ఇది లాభం లేదని, అలవాట్లు మార్చినంత మాత్రాన్న రూపం మారిపోదని తెలుసుకుని కాకి ఆ పైన హంసలను చూసి అసూయ పాడడం మానేసింది.

Three Wishes Once there lived a woodcutter with his wife. He used to cut wood in the forest and sold them in the market. This was the only means of his livelihood. One day, he went to cut wood in the forest. On the way, he was singing a song and enjoying the nature and its beauty. There he saw a very big tree in front of him. He thought of cutting the whole tree to get more wood. As the tree was very big, the wood obtained from it would be enough for his whole life. As the woodcutter picked up his axe to cut the tree, he heard a voice, "Please do not cut this tree." The woodcutter stopped and looked here and there, but found none. He thought it to be an illusion. He again picked his axe and aimed at the tree, but he heard the same words again, "Please be kind to me. Do not cut this tree." The woodcutter again stopped and looked all around. But he could not see anyone. He was quite perplexed. Then a fairy spoke from the tree, "I am a fairy and live
