"My ambition is to sit on the top of that tree at least once." said Crack one day pointing to a very tall tree. He sighed and continued, "But I haven't got the energy required to do it."
Drill gives an idea to Crack to be at top :
"If that is so, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied Drill. "They're packed with nutrients which will help you to be stronger enough to climb and reach the top ."
Crack nodded his head in agreement. He pecked at a lump of dung and found that it actually gave him enough strength to reach the first branch of the tree.
Crack gets on to top :
The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached as high as the second branch. Finally, after a fortnight, he was proudly sitting at the top of the tree. Once he was on the top he saw a hunter was moving around with a bow and arrows. The hunter easily spotted Crack who was distinctly visible sitting on the top of the tree.
The top position is so insecure !! :

| THE HUNTER HUNTING CRACK |
Before crack could think anything, the hunter's arrow grazed past Crack. The arrow missed Crack. The frightened Crack jumped down to the ground and said to his friend Drill,
"It is dangerous to be at top!!"
That is the price one has to pay to be at top
"No my friend," smiled Drill.
"The higher you go, the more careful you have to be. You will get killed any time if you become careless."
MORAL OF THE STORY
The higher position you occupy, the more care you have to take about your personal security. But that is the price one has to pay for being at top.
In studies :
The better you study, the more competitors you are likely to have. They will try to make your life difficult. But that is the price one has to pay for doing better in studies and everyone should try to reach the top without fear. Be bold to face the dangers that come with glory.
