The Fox and the Crow
A Crow, having stolen a bit of meat, sat in a tree and held
it in her beak. A hungry Fox, seeing this, envied the crow
and wished to have the meat for himself. So he came up
with a cunning plan. “How gracious you are,” he
exclaimed, “how beautifully your feathers shine! Oh, if
only your voice were equal to your beauty, you would
deserve to be called the Queen of Birds!” The Crow was
really flattered by these words, so, anxious to be called
the Queen of Birds, she gave a loud caw and dropped the
meat. The Fox quickly picked it up, and thus addressed the
Crow: "My dear Crow, you have a nice voice, indeed, but
I'm afraid vou have no wits."
