Once upon a time, there was a pair of crows living in a big tree. The husband and wife loved each other and lived a very happy life. It was about time to produce and hatch. It was the middle of summer, and the weather was very hot, and many animals were looking for a shady place to escape the heat. A venomous snake climbed out of a hole on the left side of the big tree. It couldn't bear the sultry heat in the hole, and came out to find a cool place to escape the heat. The snake crawled. Crawling, climbed up this big tree, and climbed all the way to the crow's nest, where it stayed and drove away the crow couple.

The nest was occupied by poisonous snakes for a whole summer. The crow couple had a home and couldn't go back, so it was miserable. The crow couldn't find a suitable place to live, produce and hatch, so it had to wander around outside. Finally, when autumn came, and the weather turned from hot to cool, the poisonous snake crawled back into its hole, and the crow was able to fly back to the nest. The crow said happily to his wife:

"Thanks to Allah, we have escaped the disaster since then. Although our hatching and accumulation of food this year was very unsatisfactory, we passed through the suffering unscathed after all. Thanks to Allah, I believe that as long as we pray, in the coming year, Allah will compensate us for our losses this year."

The crow couple rebuilt their nest and lived happily again. Happy life. In the summer of the second year, it was the season of production and hatching again, and they were ready for everything. Unexpectedly, the poisonous snake repeated its old trick and climbed out of the snake hole again. It climbed. Climbed, and climbed into the crow's nest in the tree, trying to spend another summer in the crow's nest. However, at this moment, there was a keen eye. The sharp-billed and sharp-clawed Harrier Eagle flew over the tree and found that the venomous snake was crawling on the tree. It swooped down with lightning speed and pecked hard at the head of the venomous snake, making the head of the venomous snake bloody. The venomous snake was paralyzed, fell from the tree, and passed out. After a while, the ants saw a venomous snake lying there, and they gathered in groups and tore its flesh, and the venomous snake soon turned into a pair of snake bones.

The serpent died, and the crows lived a carefree life ever since. Peace and security. Comfortable and happy life. They have raised many offspring, full of children and grandchildren.

The minister finished telling the story of the crow and the serpent and said, "Your Majesty, the Lord has given us this auspiciousness. The situation of the happy prince is very special, because we had little hope for this heir, but Allah did not blame us for this, so we should be very grateful to Allah, and at the same time, we also hope that Allah will add grace to everything His Majesty does, so that everything he does has a happy ending."

At this time, the third minister stood up, congratulated the king, and said, "Dear Your Majesty, the arrival of the prince is only one of the rewards that Allah has given you. From now on, blessings will continue to come. I would like to congratulate you. We also know that you are admired by the world like you. God will not treat you lightly as a beloved person. In the care of Allah. With the reward, your subjects have great respect for you. Love, you are the pillar of the people of the whole country. The birth of a prince is undoubtedly a blessing to His Majesty and his subjects, and all people will be grateful. Praise Allah, so that Allah will reward His Majesty again, and at the same time reward his subjects. Your Majesty must know that in life, nothing can be done except to do what Allah has commanded. Allah rewards slaves according to his own standard of judgment, so although human beings were created by him, some people received inexhaustible wealth in a lifetime; some people had to travel around to survive; some people were destined to be monarchs. Kings, enjoy happiness in this world; some people can only hope in the next life, immerse themselves in hard work in this world, and disappear for life. Allah can make people healthy and sick; he makes people rich and poor; he makes people's bodies die, but people's souls live forever; he creates all things, and all things eventually return to him. But no matter what kind of person, you should thank Allah. Some people are insatiable and want what Allah has not allocated to him, and he will end up like a fox. "

"Fox?" The king was surprised again, and he asked, "What's the story of the fox?"

So the minister told a story about a fox and a wild donkey.
