The Fox and The Crow

Once upon a time in a forest lived a cunning fox and a foolish crow. One day, the crow found a big piece of bread and sat on the branch of the tree. Fox saw a Crow sitting on the branch of the tree with a big piece of bread in his mouth.

The fox said to himself, “The bread looks delicious and I am starving, Let me take it from the Crow”. He went to the Crow and said ” Good morning. You have a lovely piece of bread with you. Can I please have a bit too?”. But the Crow refused. The Fox begged to the Crow but the Crow wouldn’t listen. He just sat quietly and ate his piece of bread. But the Fox didn’t give up.

The Fox returned to the tree and said to the Crow,” Are you the same handsome Crow that everyone in the forest has been talking about? You look beautiful. You also have lovely black feathers and a sharp beak. You have a beautiful voice too. Everyone in the forest is praising your voice. Can you sing a sweet song for me?”. The fox saw the crow swelling with pride. The Crow was thrilled to hear that everyone in the forest was talking about him and praising him. He suddenly forgot all about the bread and began to sing.

As the crow began to sing, the piece of bread fell down from the tree and the fox caught it. The foolish Crow lost his bread and sat crying on the tree alone. The fox ran away with the bread.
