Jataka tales THE TURTLE WHO COULDN'T STOP TALKING / THE OX WHO WON THE FORFEIT / THE SANDY ROAD / THE QUARREL OF THE QUAILS; lines 700-761 confidence: high
The wise leader tells the birds that the fowler is carrying many away and instructs them to put their heads through the holes of the net, fly together to a thorn-bush, leave the net there, and be free.
When the quails act together, they lift the net and escape from the fowler.
