Jack Crow sets out in search of job as servant. He helps the ant, the raven and the fish on the way. For his help each one of them gives him a whistle as a present; when he needs them he should just blow the whistles. He hires himself out to the king who gives him such a task that he needs the animals’ help. In the end, he fulfils his job so well that the king gives him a lot of gold coins for his service.
