The Cherry tree egg

     Tortoise, Mole and Weasel were friends. They lived near a tall cherry tree. It was so tall that even when they climbed up on one another’s shoulders, they couldn’t reach the cherries. So the birds got to eat almost all of them.

     But sometimes a few of the delicious cherries dropped down to the ground and so the three friends often searched the grass under the tree. Then they shared whatever they found.

     One day, Weasel discovered an egg nestling in the grass under the cherry tree.

- Let’s eat it. -  he said.

- But it’s too small for the three of us to eat it. -  said Tortoise, who had once been in an egg himself. 

- Let’s put it somewhere warm to hatch out.

-  Good idea. -  said Weasel. 

- It’ll be tastier that way.

      So they took the egg home and they made a nest, and Tortoise watched over it for day after day until at last it hatched.

The baby bird was hungry, but not as hungry as Weasel. 

-  Now let’s eat it.- he said.

Mole and Tortoise looked worried. 

- But he’s such a skinny little thing. - said Mole.

- Perhaps I should feed him up.

- Yes. - agreed Weasel.

-  Make it at and then we’ll eat it.

      So for day after day Mole went hunting for worms to feed the little bird. And each day Weasel looked and asked,

- Is it ready to eat yet?

And every time Mole said,

- No, not yet.

But one day Mole said, 

- I don’t think he’ll grow any more.

- Oh! -  said Weasel, and he became very thoughtful.

- What’s the matter?  -  Tortoise and Mole asked him, hopefully.

- I’ve known this bird all his life and now he feels like a friend. Do we have to eat him?- Weasel asked his friends.

- Absolutely not!  - said Tortoise. 

- That’s just what we hoped you would say! -  said Mole.

- We should let him go! - said Weasel.

- After all, there are lots of other lovely things to eat.

       And so they watched the little bird fly up and away…

     But he wasn’t gone for long. Soon he was back with his beak full of cherries! All summer long Bird flew to the top of the tall tree and picked the ripest, sweetest cherries and carried them down to his friends.

      And in winter, when there were no more cherries to eat, they all shared worms on toast. Except for Tortoise, who was dreaming of long summer days eating sweet cherries with his three friends.
