A Sense of Fair Play

 


 

The crow could see the wounded grasshopper was trying to make his way to the safety of the tall weeds.  This, however, was not just your everyday hungry crow.  This particular bird seemed to have a sense of fair play.  She didn’t feel right taking advantage just because the grasshopper was having an issue hopping.

The grasshopper knew the distance to safety was great, and although he had not seen the crow directly, he had spotted the crow’s shadow as it passed overhead.  He feared that at any moment he could be snatched up and swallowed whole.   Pain or not, he had to jump for it.

Little did he know, it was going to be his lucky day.
