روزی روزگارینقل قول:
once upon a timeit was so cold, snow fell constantly. Animals have never seen it before. At first it was a thing to play but it became deeper and deeper, small animals were buried in the snow and the large animals could walk with difficulty. Animals began to worry, "we would all perish if something weren’t be done" said wise owl "we should send a messenger to the creator and tell him about this disastrous"
animals were happy with this idea and began to debate among themselves to choose somebody as a messenger. The wise owl couldn't see during the day, so he wasn’t suitable. The wolf was tricky, he wasn’t trustful. The turtle was steady but too slow. In the end the rain bow crow, the most beautiful bird, with shimmering feathers and enchanting voice was chosen.
it was a very difficult trip, tree days flying up and up, he passed trees and rivers, stars and moon, even the sun, he flied bravely. When he reached the heaven, called out for the creator but received no answer, so started to sing his beautiful song, the creator heard his amazing voice and came and greeted him warmly, then asked him what gift he could give the noble bird in exchanging for his song. The rainbow crow told him about the animals on he earth who were dying out of the cold.
the creator stuck the stick into the blazing sun and handed the rainbow crow and told him "fly as fast as you can before the fire burn you up". The bird nodded to thank and started his journey. Three days decreasing from heaven to earth that was more difficult, because the stick was so heavy. When the elegance bird was passing the sun his tail touched the flaming fire and his shimmering feathers turn to black and the smoke of the fire went to his trout and destroyed his beautiful voice.
the time he stepped on the earth, he was as black as the tar and could just cow instead of singing. He gave the fire to the animals and they melted the ice and warmed themselves.
it was the time of joy. All the animals were happy except the crow who wasn’t rainbow anymore. He had sat apart sadly when felt wind on his face he looked up and saw the creator. The creator told him "don’t be sad, all the animals will honor you for the sacrificed you have done for them, and when the people come, they won't hunt you because of the smoke taste of your meat, also they won't keep you into the cage, because of your ugly appearance and hoarse voice, you will be free.

هوا خیلی سرد بود و برف بی وقفه می بارید. حیوانات هرگز مثل این را قبلا ندیده بودند . در ابتدا چیزی بود که باهاش بازی می کردن ، ولی شدید و شدید تر شد ، حیوانات کوچک به زیر برف رفتند و حیوانات بزرگ به سختی حرکت می کردند . حیوانات نگران شده بودند .
جغد باهوش گفت :
"ما همگی خواهیم مرد اگر ... ( اینجاش رو درست نفهمیدم )
" ما باید یک پیغام رسان به خالق ( خدا ) برسونیم و بهش در مورد این فاجعه بگیم "
حیوانات از این ایده خوشحال شدند و بین خودشون بحث کردند تا یکی رو به عنوان پیغام رسان انتخاب کنن . جغد دانا در طول روز نمی توانست ببیند ، پس برای این کار مناسب نبود . گرگ حقه باز بود و قابل اعتماد نبود . لاک پشت مقاوم ولی کند بود .درآخر پرنده رنگارنگ (!) ، زیبا ترین پرنده ، با بال های براق (!) و صدای دلربا انتخاب شد .
من دیگه باید برم ... بقیه اش رو وقت ندارم ترجمه کنم ... اون جاهایی که علامت سوال گذاشتم شک دارم .
