    The Fox sees a Crow holding cheese in her beak and flatters her with compliments to trick her into dropping the cheese. The Crow falls for the flattery and opens her beak to sing, dropping the cheese which the Fox catches in his mouth. The Fox then walks away, pointing out the Crow lacked wisdom in falling for his tricks.

    The Fox & the Crow

    One bright morning as the Fox was following


    his sharp nose through the wood in search of a
    bite to eat, he saw a Crow on the limb of a tree
    overhead. This was by no means the first Crow
    the Fox had ever seen. What caught his attention
    this time and made him stop for a second look,
    was that the lucky Crow held a bit of cheese in
    her beak.

    "No need to search any farther," thought sly


    Master Fox. "Here is a dainty bite for my
    breakfast."
    Up he trotted to the foot of the tree in which
    the Crow was sitting, and looking up admiringly,
    he cried, "Good-morning, beautiful creature!"

    The Crow, her head cocked on one side,


    watched the Fox suspiciously. But she kept her
    beak tightly closed on the cheese and did not
    return his greeting.

    "What a charming creature she is!" said the


    Fox. "How her feathers shine! What a beautiful
    form and what splendid wings! Such a wonderful
    Bird should have a very lovely voice, since
    everything else about her is so perfect. Could she
    sing just one song, I know I should hail her
    Queen of Birds."

    Listening to these flattering words, the Crow


    forgot all her suspicion, and also her breakfast.
    She wanted very much to be called Queen of
    Birds. So she opened her beak wide to utter her
    loudest caw, and down fell the cheese straight
    into the Fox's open mouth.

    "Thank you," said Master Fox sweetly, as he


    walked off. "Though it is cracked, you have a
    voice sure enough. But where are your wits?"
    The flatterer lives at the expense of those who will listen
    to him.
