Stories are part and parcel of human life. However ,the days of bedtime stories of the grandma to her grandchildren are gone forever. This is the inevitable result of the decline of joint family system replaced by the nuclear family of the husband, wife and one child (perhaps two). Both the parents are employed and have not much time to devote to children, much less to tell stories to children. Besides, modern life has its toll on family life. Even the little spare time is swallowed by television, CD films, CD music , computer games, internet rtc. The school children are loaded with heavy school bags and small lunch bags have no inclination to listen to stories. Dear children, most of you have heard the stories in this volume and other such stories. Just as we have improved in our knowledge in modern days, Let us imagine that all the birds and animals in these stories have a touch of modernity in their approach to their problems and solve them in a better and different way. Each story is divided into three parts.
