Reading notes - Part B Jakata

The Quarrel of the Quails 

This is another Jakata story with animal characters and a moral. In this story, there is a group of quails. The hunter has learned that if he makes the sound of their leader, they will all gather together and it will be easy to catch them. He continues to do this until the quail leader realizes what is happening. He tells the quails, next time the net is thrown over them, work together to fly to the nearest thorn bush and leave the net there and escape. This works for a while. Until one day, the quails get in a fight and stop working together. When they stop working together they stop communicating and the plan doesn't work anymore. Then they are sold by the man.
