For children of primary school age, the narrative itself should already sound like a riddle about a crow. For preschoolers, it is best to minimize the story, then quickly translate it into a riddle.
The teacher says: “There is such a bird in which feathers are either completely black or grayish, especially on the neck and wings. It walks confidently on the ground, albeit with a somewhat strange gait. "from a bowl of a cat or dog living in the yard.

About the raven's mind and quick wits
The fact that this bird is pretty smart, scientists concluded from observations of its life. They noticed that if a crow decides to eat, for example, a walnut, then she is unlikely to be stopped by the fact that she can not gnaw it. The crow never backs down from his desire. Where another bird would have forgotten about the nut and went in search of more affordable food, the crow thinks out how to solve this problem. It can take off with a nut, holding it in its beak, and throw it from a height onto the asphalt, as a result of which the shell breaks, and the bird regales on the coveted core.
And how many times did observers see how ravens put nuts under the wheels of cars or even put them on rails. And then these birds wait patiently when the train passes and breaks its strong shell. This is such a bird, and such an introductory lesson about it for children.
