Kali and Ghoom
From the Kākolūkīyam — the third book of the ancient Panchatantra — comes the tale of Kali the crow and Ghoom the owl. When a bullying owl steals the crows' beloved banyan tree, little Kali does not fight with his wings. He fights with his wits. This story reminds us that patience, a good plan, and the trust of true friends will always find a way home.
