A long time ago, the crow was the most beautiful bird among birds, but the peacock was the ugliest bird among birds. But while the peacock was smarter and more capable than the crow, the crow was lazier, clumsier, and more selfish than the peacock. No matter what difficulties came out of other people's homes, the crow never cared.

  One day, Uncle Hippo accidentally fell into a big round pit and desperately cried out, "Help, help!"

  The peacock saw it and rushed to the crow's house to find the crow: "Sister crow, Uncle Hippo has accidentally fallen into a big round pit, let's go save him quickly."

  The crow shook her beautiful wings and said, "I don't have time, and if I save him, I'll get my beautiful feathers dirty."

  The peacock had to rush alone, and she tried to find a way to save Uncle Hippo, who thanked her very much and praised her, saying, "Miss Peacock, you are so wise and kind, thank you!"

  The peacock said, "What is there to thank? This is what I should do."

  The peacock and the crow's actions were seen by the gods, who thought that the beautiful feathers should belong to the kind and helpful peacock, so they plucked the beautiful feathers of the crow and gave them to the peacock.

  From then on, the peacock became the most beautiful bird among birds, while the crow became a dark bird.

The Hardworking Dog and the Lazy Cat

  A family has a dog and a cat. The dog is diligent, every day, when the owner's house is empty, the dog will prick up two ears, watching intently around the owner's house, even if there is a little movement, the dog will have to bark and run over, like a dedicated police officer, dedicated to the owner's house to do the job of guarding the house. Whenever there is someone in the owner's house, his spirit will be a little relaxed, and sometimes will sleep on the ground.

  So, in the eyes of everyone in the owner's family, the dog is lazy, extremely incompetent, and often does not feed, let alone reward with good food.

  The cat is lazy. Whenever there is no one at home, they will sleep on the ground, even if three or five groups of mice are in the master's house rampage. After a good sleep, it takes a walk around to move its body and bones. When there is someone in the master's house, its spirit is also raised, here look there look, also like a dedicated police officer, from time to time, it also goes to the master to lick his feet, teasing. In the eyes of the owner, this is undoubtedly an extremely diligent, extremely dedicated cat. Good food was naturally given to it. Due to the cat's lack of diligence, the owner's house has more and more rats. Finally, one day, the rats chewed up the owner's only valuable household goods, and the owner was furious. He called his family and said: "Look, our cat is so diligent, the rats are rampant to such an extent, I think an important reason is a lazy dog, it sleeps all day and does not help the cat catch a few rats. I solemnly declare that the dog will be driven out of the house and another cat will be raised. What is everyone's opinion?" Family members have agreed that the dog is lazy enough, only knows how to sleep every day, looks at the cat, how diligent every day, catching rats to eat how fat, are some can not walk. It is time to get rid of the dog and raise a cat. So, the dog was ruthlessly driven out of the house. From the beginning, it did not understand the reason for driving it away.

  He only saw the fat cat snickering and laughing contemptuously behind him.

  Bedtime Story 3

The Naughty Calf

  Mingming, the calf, is very naughty. He often goes to his grandmother's house to play and meets many children.

  One day, Mingming invited his friends to play at his house, and he worked for a while to set up a lot of traps to get some excitement.

  When his friends arrived at Ming's house, the impatient bear pushed them away before Ming could open the door. The bear fell into the cleverly disguised pit at once; so everyone looked at each other and dared not move forward half a step.

  After a while, the bold and curious monkey cautiously tried to go around the edge of the pit, but after just a few steps, he was doused with a cold; the deer smartly turned around and ran, but was hit by the sweeping stick to "fly" ......

  The children behind did not have time to enter the door to see such a scene, they stood still and did not dare to cross the thunderstorm half a step. In the end, they all shouted to the room: "Ming Ming, you are a bad egg, we do not play with you." When Ming-Ming heard this, he hurriedly ran out of the room and said embarrassingly, "Don't you think this is fun? You guys are too uncompetitive, okay, okay, it's my fault, I will never make fun of you guys again." After saying that, immediately put out the bear in the trap, and ran over to help the monkey wipe the water, but also the deer also helped up. "This is more or less the same, if you do this again, we will have to attack the group." The children said in one voice. "I dare not! I don't dare! Never again!" Ming Ming's face was full of smiles, even bowed and bowed busy work, the children coincidentally laughed.

  The children were angry at Ming Ming's excessive naughtiness, but they were moved by Ming Ming's sincere attitude of admitting his mistake in time, and they forgave Ming Ming.

  Later, they all had a great time and spent a wonderful day in a truly happy atmosphere.
