An
ugly black crow perched on the branch of a tree. She had stolen a tasty piece
of cheese and was about to enjoy her meal. Just then, a hungry fox passed by
and saw the food in the crow’s beak. His mouth watered at the sight, so he
thought of a clever plan to get the cheese for himself. Looking up at the crow,
he said, “I have always admired your beauty with your soft, shiny fathers and
well-curved beak. If your voice is as fine as your looks, you could be the
Queen of the Birds!”
Now
the crow wanted to be the Queen. So, in order to prove that she could sing, she
opened her beak and made a loud ”Caw!” The piece of cheese fell from her beak
to the ground before she realized her mistake. As the fox snatched up the
cheese, he laughed, “My dear crow, your voice is fine, but your judgment is
not! You shouldn’t believe everything you hear!”
