NAME:

The Clever Crow


Once, a crow found a big piece of cheese. The crow held it in her beak and flew up to
the tree branch to eat the cheese in leisure. As she was settling down, a hungry fox
came by. When the fox saw the piece of cheese, his mouth watered. "The cheese looks
tasty and inviting," said the fox. "How do I get it?" he thought. Suddenly, an idea
flashed in his mind. The fox called out to the crow in a very smooth, gentle manner.
"I've heard that you have a very sweet voice. Would you mind singing a song for me?"
he asked.

The crow was way smarter than the fox. She understood his cunning intention. She
carefully took the piece of cheese from her beak and put it under her foot. Then she
said sarcastically, "I'm ready to sing now. Are you ready?" The fox was caught off
guard. He did not reply and quietly walked away. Be careful of flattery, Fox.

And the other story: One day, a fox was passing by a tree. He saw a squirrel sitting
on one of the tree branches. The fox's mouth watered. "What a fine lunch he would
be," thought the fox. But the fox did not know how to climb a tree. He somehow had
to make the squirrel come down. He looked up at the squirrel and said gently, "Hello,
friend. I have great news. What is it?" asked the squirrel. The fox continued, "I am a
messenger of God. Hereafter, no animal will eat any other animal. We are all friends.
Come down, let's celebrate."

The smart squirrel replied, "Whoa, that's really great. We should probably call our
friends, the hounds. Look, they are almost here!" The fox gasped on hearing this, and
as he was about to run, the squirrel asked, "Why are you afraid? Aren't we all friends
now?" "Yes, but the hounds might not know this yet," said the fox. Saying this, the
fox ran away as fast as his legs could carry him. Always remain cautious of cunning
people.
