The story of the ugly crow

Once I read my tales in  English language to the kids in the school with advanced study of English. After the second tale, one smart boy asked me a tricky question: "But could you write a story live in front of us?"
"Well, - I replied, - I will try. And on what subject?"
This clever boy, without hesitation, said, "About an ugly crow!"
"Good! - I agreed. So, the tale about an ugly crow. Let's go!"

«Once upon a time  lived a king Belg. It was his name , Belg.  The king   has a large Kingdom that stretched for 30 meters on all four sides of the world. In the middle of Kingdom there was a Big Royal Palace of four rooms. The biggest room was the Royal bedroom. The second room was the living room. The third - toilet and the fourth – bathroom. The total area of the Royal Palace, and was 40 square meters. Well, what do you want? The king needs to live with dignity! Next to the Royal Palace stood two shacks in which lived the people of the Kingdom. The people consisted of thick old cook, of thick old laundress, of thick old red cat and fat old dog. Belgland, so King Belg named his Kingdom, of course for his honor. The people loved their king and affectionately called him "Old Belg". And yet, the people called king "Our benefactor, the old  Belg". 
This is very interesting, why  the people began to call  the king - "Our Benefactor". Now I will explain. King Belg was an avid hunter. He could spend hours, hunting sparrows by shooting them with peas with a slingshot. He had a nice slingshot, made of ash, which he bought for 6 euros in Spain, when there spent his holidays. I must say that the king was a good marksman, and his people did not lack in the food, that is, in the sparrows. In addition, in the result of the Royal hunt, all land in the Kingdom was sown with peas, so the people always had pea soup and pea porridge. That's why people began to call the king Belg "Our Benefactor".
And now, it's time to think about an ugly crow. The Duke Crow lived in a neighboring Kingdom, which was divided with the Kingdom of Belgland by sea Strait of Pas-de-Calais.  Once the Duke Crow flyes to Bonn for an official visit. He was flying just above the Kingdom of Bergland, but from the height of his flight, did not even notice this piece of land. But he smelled the smell of fried sparrows. Crow turned around and began to dive like a CANBERRA  bomber,  on the smell of fried sparrows. Thick laundress, first saw the black crow and began hastily to remove the rope with wet clothes, saving him from a terrible bombing. At the same time, she was yelling all around the Kingdom: "Crow! Crow! Flee for your lives!" Hearing the cries of the washerwomen, the fat cook ran to save fried sparrows; fat dog, rushed to save his life and climbed into the kennel, and the fat cat did not move, because was sleeping sweetly on the royal bed, Only the glorious king Belg was not afraid. He ran out of the Palace with a slingshot in his hands and opened rapid peas fire at the black crow. The fight was short but brutal and merciless. A few bombs dropped by a crow fell on the king, badly decorate the royal's hat and clothes/ But the king has not left the battlefield and continued to fire at crow with peas. And that's when the crow was very close to the king, he managed a nice shot. Pea “bullet” hit right in the eye crow. Crow screamed in pain and realizing that was badly wounded, hurried to his native shores.  From that moment, crow stopped being friends with neighboring countries and declared d brexit. From this moment all began to call the Duke Crow as ugly crow. But the king Belg unexpectedly received the fame of a brave warrior and led the military Alliance of the States of the pea, which unanimously adopted a Spanish slingshot ashes for 6 euros apiece.
That's the story about the ugly cow.”
