The Foolish Crow and the Clever Fox

Once a crow snatched a piece of meat from a farmer's child and flew to a tree. A fox was going under that tree. The fox saw the piece of meat in the beak of the crow. The clever fox wanted to have the piece of meat. So he hit upon a plan to accomplish his evil desire. He started to flatter the crow. He said that the crow was very beautiful to look at. It's beak was very nice. Her voice is very sweet and everybody loves that. Further, the clever fox added that the beauty of the crow could not be described in words.

The sweet words of the fox pleased the crow very much and it became overwhelmed with joy. Then the clever fox requested it to sing a song for him. As the crow was already overwhelmed by the words of the fox, she forgot about the peace of meat in her beak. As soon as the crow started to sing a song, the peace of meat fell down from it's mouth. Then the clever fox instantly took the peace of meat and went away.
