One crow looks at how a flock of geese is gathering to the south. I decided to fly with them.
The leader of the pack, having learned about this, looking sternly at Crow, said:
- Crow, you are a non-migratory bird! How are you going to fly?
To which I received the answer:
- Leave me alone! I'm big! I'm strong! I can do anything! I can do anything!
- Well, have it your way, let's fly and see!
In the morning, the flock flew south, and our heroine flew along with the geese. When it was time to stop for the night, guess who was gone the longest?!.... Yes, you are absolutely right! She was gone for an hour, two, three... Finally, when the sun had almost set, a tired, hungry, disheveled Crow landed near the flock.
The leader approached her again and said:
- Crow, think! You are not a migratory bird, but we have to fly across the sea for 3 days without stopping. You won't make it!
- Leave me alone! I'm big! I'm strong! I can do anything! I can do anything!
In the morning, the flock again took to the wing and continued on its way.
3 days after the flock finished its flight across the sea, a small dot appeared on the horizon. Yes! It was the same Crow!
She looked terrible! Wet, tongue on shoulder, half the feathers missing, only a feather left from the tail! The crow plopped down near the flock, unable to catch its breath or utter a word.
The geese gathered near her and the leader said:
-Yes, crow! You really are Big! You are Strong!!!
- Leave me alone! I'm big! I'm strong! But what a D-U-U-U-R-A I am!!!
