THE QUARREL OF THE QUAILS:
Many Quails lived together in the forest
A man lived near by
The man listened to the quails chirping and figured out how to call them
Once they would all come to him he cast his net and captured the quails to sell them
The birds planned a way to escape the net the next time the man tried to capture them
They would fly away while sticking their heads through the net holes
The man was too smart, he knew once the birds disagreed with each other he could capture them
The birds began to fight as predicted, and the man captured them
