Ungrateful tree had the tragic end

 In a village, there was a huge tree. Village children used to come and they were playing different games under the shade of the tree .

But prankster children are not just playing . They used to climb the tree and pluck the leaves and fruits of tree forcibly .

They used to scratch the trunk of tree and were writing their names . All these bad works of children used to hurt the tree a lot  . 

One day a family of crow built their nest on the branches of tree . Male crow saw the evil works of children and how much the tree is suffering because of that . It decides to help the tree .

Crow came with the plan and shared it with the tree. As soon as the tree agreed  , it started to execute the plan . 

Plan was simple . Crow went to the graveyard nearly and collected some bones . Crow dropped these bones in and around the tree . 

As usual children came to play . Soon they spotted bones everywhere . They were scared by this and never came near the tree to play thinking that some ghosts are staying on tree .

Tree was very happy and thanked the crow . It asked what it can do in return . That time crow family replied that they are expecting their laid eggs to hatch soon . They requested the tree to look after the eggs and protect them from the predators . 

Tree agreed . One snake was keeping his eye on the eggs and wants to eat them . But he soon came to know that tree is guarding the eggs . 

Snake tried to be the friend of tree by saying good words  . Tree was impressed by the fake politeness of snake and soon they became friends . 

Now snake started to say bad things about crow's family . Snake said tree is wasting its time by becoming the guardian of unhatched eggs .

Tree thought snake is telling the truth . It was so much biased by the words of snake that it agreed to allow the snake to eat the eggs . Snake happily went and ate the eggs . 

Crow family returned,, they were very sad by seeing the empty nest . They realised that the tree didn't keep its words . Soon they left the place . 

Now snake is staying with tree itself . It was not allowing anyone to come near the tree . It was scaring them  by hissing continuously . 

Now no one was dared to come near the tree . Soon the news spread in the village about the snake and ghost tree . People decided to stop these things . 

They burnt the tree itself . Along with tree even the snake got burnt alive .
