The crow bully Kaka demands the eggs, but Munni cleverly bargains to slow him by asking him to wash his beak properly. Kaka is diverted through a chain of requests involving a stream, a potter, a field, and other helpers, while each step tests his hunger, vanity, and willingness to manipulate others.","Kaka and Munni: A Folktale from  \nPunjab Natasha Sharma  \nNatasha Sharma  \nIn a gulmohar tree along the wheat fields in Punjab, Munni the sparrow, sat by her nest. She watched over her three little eggs, waiting for them to hatch. Munni looked around happily at the bright red flowers, before giving a startled chirp as she saw a flash of black. It was the village bully, Kaka, the crow.”Move over Munni, for I have come to eat your eggs,” he cawed.  \nNow Munni was a clever little sparrow and she quickly chirped back,”Who can refuse you, Kaka? But I have one request. Before eating my eggs, could you please wash your beak, since it is looking very dirty?”  \nKaka did not like the idea of not looking his very best. He quickly flew over to the stream and was about to wash his beak in the water, when the stream cried out,”Kaka! Wait! If you dip your beak into me, all my water will become dirty. Go get a cup, fill it with water, and wash your beak in that.”  \nHearing this, Kaka went to the potter in the village, and cawed to him,  \n”Oh potter dear, This is Kaka here . A cup you make For me to fill With water to wash My dirty bill So I can eat the eggs And loudly caw To let everyone Hear me and know That I am the most handsome crow.”  \n”I will gladly give you a cup, but I need mud to make one for you,” said the potter.  \nSo Kaka flew over to the nearby field and said to it,  \n”Oh field dear, This is Kaka here . Some mud I’ll take For the potter to make A cup to fill With water to wash My dirty bill So I can eat the eggs And loudly caw To let everyone Hear me and know That I am the most handsome crow.”  \n”I  \nam all dry and baked hard, for the monsoon  \nrains are yet to start. Get something sharp to dig me up,” replied the field.  \nOff Kaka went to the nearby jungle where he saw a deer with sharp horns. He called out toit,  \n”My friend, oh deer, This is Kaka here . Your horn may I take To dig some mud For the potter to make A cup for me to fill With water to wash My dirty bill So I can eat the eggs And loudly caw To let everyone Hear me and know That I am the most handsome crow?”  \n”Oh, you very clever crow, how can you take  \nmy horn while I am still alive?” Kaka, terribly hungry, flew around in a flurry till he came across ...  \n...a pair of dogs.”Oh dogs dear, This is Kaka here . I need your help, I fear, To kill the deer Whose horn I shall take To dig some mud For the potter to make A cup for me to fill With water to wash My dirty bill So I can eat the eggs And loudly caw To let everyone Hear me and know That I am the most handsome crow.”  \n”That is a lot of work in this heat,” grumbled one of the dogs.”We need to be strong to
