Reading Notes: Jakatas

The Cunning Crane and the Crab
Main Characters: 
Crane
Fish
Crab
Plot:
A crane convinces fish that are living in a dried out pond to come to a fresh new pond with abundant resources on the other side but at the cost of their lives as the crane eats them one by one while carrying them in his beak over to the other side. However, a crab outsmarts the crane and convinces the crane to allow the crab to hold onto the crane's neck. The crane tries to trick the crab like the others but the crab had the upper hand and clipped the crane's head off.
Story Idea: Instead of using a crane and fish as the main characters, I could use a cat and mouse instead but still keep the story the same because I really like the story.
