Once upon a time,there was a crow(乌鸦).It lived in a tree.At the root of the same tree,a snake built its home there.
Whenever the crow laid eggs,the snake would find them and eat them up.The crow felt helpless and thought, "I must teach that bad snake a lesson."
One day,the crow flew over the king's palace.She saw the princess wearing an expensive necklace(项链).Suddenly she got an idea.She swooped down(俯冲),picked up the necklace and flew off to her
nest.
Seeing this,the palace guards ran after the crow and followed her to the tree.She was sitting on the tree holding the necklace.
The clever crow thought, "Now is the time to act." She dropped the necklace,and the necklace fell right beside the snake's home.
When the snake heard the noise,it came out of its home.The guards saw the snake,and shouted. "A snake!A snake!Kill it! " With big sticks,they beat the snake and killed it.Then the guards picked up the necklace and went back to the palace.
