once upon a time,a poor old woman lived in a village. She had a humble and charming daughter. Once, the old mother placed the rice on the plate and directed her daughter – “Protect the rice from birds by leaving it out in the sun.” After a while, a strange crow flew close to her.She had never seen a golden crow with gold wings and a silver beak before. When she saw him eating the rice and laughing, she burst into tears. She stops him and prays, “Don’t eat rice, my mother is very poor.” The golden-winged crow then said, “Don’t be sad.” Come out behind the Ficus tree outside the village before sunrise. I will give you the price of the rice. The happy girl could not even sleep.

She gets there before the sun comes up. And when she looked at the tree, she was surprised to see a golden palace. When the crow awoke, he said through the golden window, “Hey girl!” You’ve arrived; wait while I lower the ladder for you. Then tell me which one I should lower for you – a ladder made of silver, gold, or copper. The young girl stated, “I am the poor mother’s daughter. I’ll be there with the copper ladder.” She did, however, she reached the golden palace through a golden ladder.

She was taken aback after seeing the strange objects in the palace for a long time. Looking at the tired girl, the crow said, “First, have a little breakfast – Say, will you eat in a gold plate, a silver plate, or a copper plate?” The girl stated, “I, the poor, will eat food in the copper plate.” The golden crow then served the food on the gold plate, which surprised her. ” The girl had never had such a delicious meal before. Crow exclaimed, “Hey Girl!” I wish you could stay here forever, but your mother is alone. So “You go home soon.”

Saying this, the crow took out three boxes from inside the house and said to her – “Girl! Take a box as per your wish.” Taking the smallest box, the girl stated, “This is the value of my rice.”When she returned home, she opened the box, and she was overjoyed to discover precious diamonds inside and became rich from that day.
In the same village, there was another greedy old lady. She had a daughter as well. She learned the secret of that poor girl’s golden crow out of jealousy. That greedy old lady also appointed her daughter to protect the rice by exposing it to sunlight. Similarly, that girl was called to crow’s house by the crow with golden wings who was eating her rice. When she arrived there in the morning, she condemned the crow and said – “Hey, you filthy crow! I’ve come to inquire about the price of rice.” Crow stated – “I’ll lower the ladder for you. As an example, consider gold, silver, or copper.” Which ladder should you use? “I’ll come by the gold ladder,” the arrogant girl said. However, the gold crow presented her with the copper ladder. In addition, she was served food in a copper vessel by the golden crow.

While returning, the golden crow placed three boxes from inside the house in front of her aslo. She takes the largest box because she is greedy. When she reached home, she opened the box and found a terrible black snake inside. The greedy girl obtained the outcome of her greed. She then gave up greed as well.
