Fox Gets Fooled
Once a crow stole a
piece of meat from a butcher’s shop and flew. It got tired so it was resting
for a moment on the tree with the piece of meat in its beak. Meanwhile, a fox
passing under the tree saw the crow and the meat and wanted to have it. The fox
thought that he was very clever and could fool the crow. So, the fox hit upon a
plan. He praised the sweet voice of the crow and requested it to sing a song
for him. But the crow was cleverer than the fox. It understood the trick of the
fox at once. The crow carefully kept the meat under its feet and held it
tightly with his claws and started singing with his baritone voice. The fox got
fooled and left the place with a broken heart.
Moral: Don’t / Never trust a flatterer.
