The Crow and the Fox
Short Story on "The Crow and the Fox"
Once, a crow was sitting on a high branch of a shady tree in a jungle.
It had a piece of cheese in its beak which it had stolen from a shop of a nearby town. A fox was standing under the tree. Her mouth began to water at the sight of the piece of cheese.
She planned to have that piece. She said to the crow, ”How are you Mr. Crow? You are really the prettiest of the birds. How shiny are your black wings and how wonderful beak you possess. I have never heard you singing. If you have a melodious voice too I shall recommend your name for the title ”Prince of the birds” The crow was taken in by her oily tongue.
It at once opened its beak to display its sweet voice. As soon as it opened its beak the piece of cheese fell down which was caught up by the cunning fox before it touched the ground. She ate it with great relish and went away saying, ”O black bird! You are in fact, the prince of fools.”
Moral: Beware of the flatterers.
