Fox and Crow

One day a fox saw a crow with a piece of cheese in its beak.
“Hey, I should have that cheese. I’m the fox and I deserve it,” he said. “I’m a sly, smooth talking fox too. I’ll have it soon enough.”

The fox walked over to the foot of the tree. “How are you today?” asked the fox. “You’re looking very fine, Is there something different about you? Have you changed shampoo?” “Your feathers look so glossy and black and your eyes are sparkling like diamonds,” said the fox, flattering the crow.

“Wow, if you can sing as good as you look then I’ll have to call you King of all Birds”, said the fox. Flattered by all the compliments from the fox, and wanting to be called ‘King of all Birds’, the crow lifted its head and began to sing. But the moment it opened its mouth, the cheese fell out, and the running fox jumped and caught it before it hit the ground. “Yes!!!” yelled the fox, holding the cheese up over his head as he did his victory dance. “I got what I wanted.”

The fox looked up at the sad crow in the tree. “I’ll give you some advice for the future” he said to the crow.

Moral : Never trust a flatterer.
