The crows

I really didn't know how much crows can do. Actually, crows are just like us. I learnt this from two crows that live on a tree right outside my house...
These two crows didn't do anything except try to come into our house. They'd fly away with our clothes, they'd break the plant pots, and they'd basically irritate us. We always thought these crows were useless, when one day, we woke up to find a small nest built on the tree, with the mother crow sitting quietly on her three small eggs. We all smiled. We had never seen a sight like that before. The crow seemed to smile at us too, and we spent most of the day looking at them. The next day, we heard the quiet caws of three adorable baby crows. And the best thing was we even saw the mother crow feeding them. Every day we saw how much care she took of them, how she fed them, rubbed their necks, and looked at them with a twinkle in her eye. Even as they grew up day by day, she always took care of them the same way. They'd open their beaks and caw at the same time, always trying to get their mothers attention. And we enjoyed every minute of it. They were so cute together as a family, and they lived and took care of each other just as much we humans do. In fact, crows are so smart that these two crows knew that the rains were about to come, and laid their eggs at such a time that now the baby crows are almost ready to fly. And from that family, I got to know that crows and humans shouldn't be treated differently, and if you look at a crow from an angle, you won't be able to notice the difference between them and us.
