Story Details

Hello, little learners! Get ready for a fun story about a crow who learned a very important lesson. Let's begin!

This is the village of Sweet Songs. Everyone is happy and friendly. Look at the happy animals!

Can you point to the crow? This is Kalu the crow.

But Kalu has a bad habit. He loves to tell lies! Can you make a sad face like the dog who hears a lie?

One day, Kalu shouted, "Help, help! A big tiger is coming!" All the animals ran to hide. But there was no tiger. Kalu laughed, "Caw Caw! I fooled you!"

The animals were not happy. "Kalu, that was a lie!" they said. "You should not cry 'tiger' for fun." Let's all say, "That's not nice, Kalu!"

But Kalu did not listen. The next day, he again shouted, "Help! The tiger is here! Run for your lives!" What do you think happened? The animals ran again!

The animals came back, very angry. "We will not believe you again, Kalu!" they said. Let's shake our heads and say, "No, Kalu, we don't believe you."

One day, a REAL tiger came to the village! Kalu was so scared! He shouted as loud as he could, "Help! Help! The tiger is really here! Please help me!"

But what did the animals do? They heard Kalu, but they said, "Oh, he is just lying again." And nobody came to help. Oh no!

Kalu had to fly away to stay safe. He felt very sorry. He learned that if you always tell lies, no one will believe you when you tell the truth. Can you say, "Always tell the truth"?

Kalu went back to the animals and said, "I am very sorry for telling lies. I promise to always be truthful from now on." The animals forgave him. Let's clap for Kalu!
