The Shiny Key
Once upon a time, there was a crow named Howard who loved to fly high in the sky.
Howard was not just any crow, he was the smartest crow in the forest.
Every morning Howard would wake up at the crack of dawn and fly east to greet the sunrise.
He loved the feel of the cool morning breeze on his feathers and the sight of the green forest below.
One day, Howard spotted something shiny in the distance.
It seemed to be coming from the tallest tree in the forest.
Howard went to take a peek.
He flew faster and higher until he reached the peak of the tree.
To his surprise, Howard found a small, shiny key.
He had never seen something so bright and beautiful.
Howard decided to keep the key, it was his special find.
From that day on, Howard was not just the smartest crow, but also the crow with the brightest key.
However, Howard was not the only one who had seen the key.
A cheeky monkey named Jack had also seen the shiny key and wanted it for himself.
He decided to play a trick on Howard and steal the key while he was away.
Jack climbed the tree quickly and reached the nest.
When Howard returned, he saw that his key was gone.
He looked everywhere but could not find it.
Finally, Howard saw Jack playing with his key.
He decided to teach Jack a lesson and get his key back.
Howard spoke to Jack and told him that it was not nice to steal.
Jack felt sorry and returned the key to Howard.
From that day on, Jack promised to be honest and never steal again.
And Howard, he continued to be the smartest and now the happiest crow in the forest.
