The Crow and The Fox

Natchya Tiwari

Once upon a time, there was a fox. The fox was travelling into a forest. It fox was very hungry. Suddenly, it saw a crow holding a lump of meat and sitting on a branch of a tree.

It called out to the crow, "Hello, Miss Crow."

The crow looked down.

The fox said further, "You are so beautiful; I have never seen any bird as beautiful as you are."

The crow passionate about the compliments listened carefully to the fox saying "Miss Crow, I really want to know what your voice is like."

The crow raised her head and opened her mouth to speak. The meat that she was holding fell on the ground.

The fox quickly picked up the meat and ran away from there.



Moral of the story
