She respectfully asks the koel for lessons and is given a strict condition: arrive at daybreak every morning. Because Kaage loves sleeping, she sets an alarm and finally fails her first lesson, prompting the koel to refuse her. Feeling disappointed, Kaage later seeks new inspiration when rain and a peacock’s dance stir her desire to learn.","The Generous Crow Venkatramana Gowda  \nPadmanabh  \nIt was dawn. In her nest, Kaage the crow woke up and looked around, bored. She cleared her throat and cawed a few times. Boring. 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.” Kaage nodded.  \n”Good. Class begins tomorrow,” said the koel, flying off on her errands.  \n4  \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.  \n”Now, let me hear you sing this,” said the koel.”Kuhoo, kuhoo…”  \nEagerly, 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  \nflew.  \nKaage was very disappointed. Crying bitter tears, she returned to her nest.  \nDays passed. One day, Kaage watched asthe sky filled with dark clouds. A cool breeze began to blow and it began to drizzle a little. From her nest, Kaage could see the peacock spread his beautiful tail feathers and begin to dance. She was filled with the urge to dance.’Maybe the peacock can help,’ she thought to herself, and flew off to look for him.","cbCailbkhPucTLuq","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailbkhPucTLuq","pdf",717812,2,17,"English","en",105,"# Kaage Hears the Koel\n## The Request for Lessons\n# The Daybreak Lesson\n## Kaage’s First Attempt\n# Disappointment and a New Idea","[{\"question\":\"Why does Kaage become angry after hearing the koel sing?\",\"answer\":\"Kaage feels it is unfair because she warmed the egg that the koel’s bird hatched from, yet the koel’s little bird sings better than she does.\"},{\"question\":\"What condition does the koel set for teaching Kaage?\",\"answer\":\"Kaage must be there very early each morning at daybreak, and the class begins the next morning.\"},{\"question\":\"What happens when Kaage tries her first singing lesson?\",\"answer\":\"Kaage can only manage “Kaa, kaa,” and the koel decides she is impossible and refuses to continue teaching her.\"}]",1783570621,26,{"code":4,"msg":30,"data":31},"ok",{"site_id":24,"language":23,"slug":32,"title":13,"keywords":33,"description":14,"schema_data":34,"social_meta":85,"head_meta":87,"extra_data":89,"updated_unix":27},"the-generous-crow","",{"@graph":35,"@context":84},[36,52,67],{"@type":37,"itemListElement":38},"BreadcrumbList",[39,43,46,49],{"item":40,"name":41,"@type":42,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":44,"name":45,"@type":42,"position":20},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",{"item":47,"name":12,"@type":42,"position":48},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":50,"name":13,"@type":42,"position":51},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/the-generous-crow/48725/",4,{"url":50,"name":13,"@type":53,"author":54,"headline":13,"publisher":56,"fileFormat":59,"inLanguage":23,"description":14,"dateModified":60,"datePublished":61,"encodingFormat":59,"isAccessibleForFree":62,"interactionStatistic":63},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":55},"Person",{"url":40,"name":57,"@type":58},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-07-13","2026-07-09",true,{"@type":64,"interactionType":65,"userInteractionCount":20},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":66},"ViewAction",{"@type":68,"mainEntity":69},"FAQPage",[70,76,80],{"name":71,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":73},"Why does Kaage become angry after hearing the koel sing?","Question",{"text":74,"@type":75},"Kaage feels it is unfair because she warmed the egg that the koel’s bird hatched from, yet the koel’s little bird sings better than she does.","Answer",{"name":77,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":78},"What condition does the koel set for teaching Kaage?",{"text":79,"@type":75},"Kaage must be there very early each morning at daybreak, and the class begins the next morning.",{"name":81,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":82},"What happens when Kaage tries her first singing lesson?",{"text":83,"@type":75},"Kaage can only manage “Kaa, kaa,” and the koel decides she is impossible and refuses to continue teaching her.","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":24},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":91},[92,95,99,103,108,113,118,123,128,131,135],{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":93,"slug":94},90,"story-novel",{"id":20,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":96,"show_sort_weight":97,"slug":98},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":51,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":100,"show_sort_weight":101,"slug":102},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":104,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":105,"show_sort_weight":106,"slug":107},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":109,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":110,"show_sort_weight":111,"slug":112},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":114,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":115,"show_sort_weight":116,"slug":117},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":119,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":120,"show_sort_weight":121,"slug":122},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":124,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":125,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":127},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":126,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":129,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":130},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":132,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":133,"show_sort_weight":132,"slug":134},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":136,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":137,"show_sort_weight":104,"slug":138},19,"General","general"]
