“Thank you”, said the bird to the lion.
Hanging from the tree above with nobody near,
The crane went on beckoning out of fear.
The sun began to retreat,
The crane started to shriek.
With things getting silent,
It could hear a roar in the quiet.
With sparkling eyes a voice said,
“Give me your neck to help you out”.
With eyes as wide as the moon the crane replied,
“It’s better I die falling”.
To this the lion replied,
” Why would I come to eat you with a warning??”
Breathing a sigh of relief the crane lifted his eyes,
He understood who would help him to rise.
Without thinking twice the crane stretched his neck,
With His graceful mane, the lion saved the crane.
With grateful eyes, the crane bowed his head,
And said:
“How should I repay for that doubtful moment, I worry,
Won’t make this act small with just a sorry”.
