In her nest, Kaage the crow woke up and looked around, bored. She cleared her throat and cawed a few times . Bo-ring. Then, suddenly, she pricked up her ears . A koel was singing his sweet song somewhere nearby.  \nFor a while, Kaage enjoyed the song. Then she got mad. It just wasn't fair! It was she who had warmed the egg that the koel had hatched from, and now that little bird was singing so much better than her! But she should not be jealous, she told herself. The thing to do was to take singing lessons from the koel.  \nKaage went looking for the koel, and found her at last. The koel looked at her a little suspiciously, but Kaage was very respectful.“Will you teach me to sing?”Kaage asked humbly.  \n“All right,” said the koel.“But on one condition . You have to be here very early each morning, at daybreak.”  \nKaage nodded.“Good. Class begins tomorrow,” said the koel, flying off on her errands.  \nKaage loved her sleep, and never woke up before sunrise . But she had her first singing lesson the next morning at daybreak! She wound up her alarm clock and set it before she went to bed. When the alarm rang, Kaage jumped out of bed, rubbed the sleep out of her eyes, and rushed to class .  \nThe koel was waiting impatiently. As soon as Kaage landed on a nearby branch, the music lesson began .“Now, let me hear you sing this,” said the koel.  \n“Kuhoo, kuhoo…” Eagerly, Kaage tried. But all she could say was “Kaa, kaa .”  \nAfter a while, the koel had had enough.“You are impossible,” she declared.“You will have to find yourself another teacher .”And off she flew .  \nKaage was very disappointed. Crying bitter tears, she returned to her nest.","cbCaikxiifgL8SW1","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikxiifgL8SW1","pdf",8039247,20,"English","en",105,"# The Generous Crow\n## Kaage hears the koel\n## Seeking singing lessons\n## Early-morning class\n## A disappointing performance\n## Kaage returns home","[{\"question\":\"Why does Kaage get mad after hearing the koel sing?\",\"answer\":\"Kaage feels it is unfair that the koel’s baby bird sings much better than she does, even though she warmed the egg and helped hatch it.\"},{\"question\":\"What condition does the koel set for teaching Kaage to sing?\",\"answer\":\"The koel requires Kaage to be there very early each morning at daybreak.\"},{\"question\":\"How does Kaage do in her first singing lesson?\",\"answer\":\"Kaage tries eagerly but can only manage a poor imitation, saying sounds like “Kaa, kaa,” which disappoints the koel.\"}]",1784314253,31,{"code":4,"msg":29,"data":30},"ok",{"site_id":23,"language":22,"slug":31,"title":13,"keywords":32,"description":14,"schema_data":33,"social_meta":85,"head_meta":87,"extra_data":89,"updated_unix":26},"the-generous-crow-english-story-book","",{"@graph":34,"@context":84},[35,52,67],{"@type":36,"itemListElement":37},"BreadcrumbList",[38,42,46,49],{"item":39,"name":40,"@type":41,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":43,"name":44,"@type":41,"position":45},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":47,"name":12,"@type":41,"position":48},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":50,"name":13,"@type":41,"position":51},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/the-generous-crow-english-story-book/92279/",4,{"url":50,"name":13,"@type":53,"author":54,"headline":13,"publisher":56,"fileFormat":59,"inLanguage":22,"description":14,"dateModified":60,"datePublished":61,"encodingFormat":59,"isAccessibleForFree":62,"interactionStatistic":63},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":55},"Person",{"url":39,"name":57,"@type":58},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-07-22","2026-07-17",true,{"@type":64,"interactionType":65,"userInteractionCount":11},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":66},"ViewAction",{"@type":68,"mainEntity":69},"FAQPage",[70,76,80],{"name":71,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":73},"Why does Kaage get mad after hearing the koel sing?","Question",{"text":74,"@type":75},"Kaage feels it is unfair that the koel’s baby bird sings much better than she does, even though she warmed the egg and helped hatch it.","Answer",{"name":77,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":78},"What condition does the koel set for teaching Kaage to sing?",{"text":79,"@type":75},"The koel requires Kaage to be there very early each morning at daybreak.",{"name":81,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":82},"How does Kaage do in her first singing lesson?",{"text":83,"@type":75},"Kaage tries eagerly but can only manage a poor imitation, saying sounds like “Kaa, kaa,” which disappoints the koel.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":50,"og:type":86,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":57,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":88,"canonical":50},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":23},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":91},[92,95,99,103,108,113,118,123,127,130,134],{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":93,"slug":94},90,"story-novel",{"id":45,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":96,"show_sort_weight":97,"slug":98},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":51,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":100,"show_sort_weight":101,"slug":102},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":104,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":105,"show_sort_weight":106,"slug":107},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":109,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":110,"show_sort_weight":111,"slug":112},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":114,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":115,"show_sort_weight":116,"slug":117},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":119,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":120,"show_sort_weight":121,"slug":122},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":124,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":125,"show_sort_weight":20,"slug":126},9,"Religion & Spirituality","religion-spirituality",{"id":20,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":128,"show_sort_weight":20,"slug":129},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":131,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":132,"show_sort_weight":131,"slug":133},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":135,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":136,"show_sort_weight":104,"slug":137},19,"General","general"]
