A Sly Fox and a Foolish Crow

 

Once there was a foolish crow. One day it was flying over a meat shop. When the shopkeeper looked behind, it stole a piece of meat. The shopkeeper did not see the crow stealing the piece of meat from his shop. The crow flew to a distant tree and sat on a branch of the tree. Under the tree, there was a sly fox who noticed it. The fox was greedy and clever also. He thought for sometimes and asked the crow to sing a song with its beautiful voice. The foolish crow at first did not want to sing but the sly fox said, “If you start your singing, most of the animals of the forest will come to hear and you will be famous.” Hearing it the foolish crow felt proud and started singing. When he opened his mouth, the piece of meat felt down. The sly fox took it and went away. The foolish crow could not do anything.
