Once upon a time, there was a hawk named Harold who lived in the forest. He loved to fly and hunt for food. One day, he saw a raven named Raven who was sitting on a tree branch. Harold decided to say hello, "Hello Raven! What are you up to today?"
Raven replied, "I'm just watching the swallows fly by. They are so fast and graceful."
Harold was curious, "I've never seen a swallow before. Can you show me where they are?"
Raven took Harold to a nearby meadow where the swallows were flying and catching insects. Harold was amazed by their speed and agility. He decided to try to catch one but they were too quick for him.
After several attempts, Harold gave up and asked Raven for help. Raven suggested that instead of trying to catch them, they should join them and fly with them. Harold agreed and they both flew with the swallows, enjoying the beautiful scenery and the feeling of the wind in their feathers.
From that day on, Harold and Raven became good friends and would often fly and hunt together, but they always made sure to take a moment to appreciate the beauty of the swallows.
The end.
