The Fox and The Crow
Once
upon a time , a fox was walking through
the forest when he saw a crow sitting on
a tree branch with a fine piece of cheese in her beak. The fox wanted the
cheese and decided he would be
clever enough to outwit the bird.
“ What
a noble and gracious bird I see in the
tree !” proclaimed the fox,” How lovely she is ! What fair plumage ! If her
voice is as lovely as her beauty,she would no doubt be the most beautiful of
all birds .”
The
crow was so flattered by all this talk that she opened her beak and gave a cry
to show the fox her voice.
“ Caw !
Caw ! “ she cried , as the cheese dropped to the ground for the fox to grab.
