An elderly man in Kuala Lumpur found himself in an unexpected chase after a crow grabbed his fallen banknotes and refused to let go.

Crow taunts elderly man into chasing after banknotes

As soon as the man reached the ground, the crow jumped up the stairs, leaving the uncle with no choice but to follow it.

The crow even hopped as it moved to the opposite side as if mocking the elderly man.
Whenever the elderly man tried to catch it, the crow flew and hopped away, but stayed close enough to taunt the man into chasing after it.

Crow drops RM 50 bill during chase
Meanwhile, in the second video, a woman tries to help the uncle by chasing after the crow herself.
However, the crow only continued his mischievous game, hopping away whenever the woman reached it.
When the woman tried to approach it slowly, the crow accidentally dropped the RM 5o bill – which the woman quickly grabbed – before it flew with the remaining banknote.
