This story is a variation on the story of the "tiger procurer" that is usually told about animals instead as you can see here: The Goats and the Tiger (India) and The Jackals and the Tiger (Tibet). The source for this story is the famous collection called Shuka-Saptati, "70 Parrot Tales," which you can read about at Wikipedia.
The story is 700 words long, so it will take about four minutes to read, or about seven minutes to read out loud.
