The Dove and the Crow
The Forgiving Dove
A long time ago on the small island of Wanahkie there was a beautiful forest that grew in the
centre of this deserted island. In the middle of this forest stood a tree which was superior to all
the other trees, it was the oldest, and biggest tree in the forest and legend has it that the tree
possessed love, kindness, and knowledge.
The birds of the forest named the tree Joshua. The tree was home to many birds, which
included a dove and a crow. Early every sunrise the dove would awake and begin collecting food
and nesting materials for her babies. As she began to flight and return home everyday, the crow
would step in and steal all her food and materials. The crow was greedy and never awoke to
gather his own for his babies for he was too lazy. The dove would then have to fly back into the
forest search all over again, but all she would find was scraps. The dove made the best of what
she had. Her nest was not the biggest nor the best and the food she had to feed her family left
them craving for more. It didn't matter to her how big her nest was, as long as they were together
as a family she was happy. The crow how ever had the biggest nest and always plenty of food to
feed his family. The crow never worked for anything he had, he always stole from the dove. The
crows big nest and lots of food made him very happy, but his greed kept him from sharing with
the dove. One sad morning the dove had awoke and saw that the sun was not shining for big
black dark clouds were covering it. The dove had a feeling that a terrible storm was approaching,
so she called out to all the birds to seek shelter. The crow began to panic and decided he and his
family would flee from the tree and try to run from the storm. The dove believed the tree's long
branches would shield them from the rain and protect against the storm. The dove warned the
crow to stay yet he refused to
