The Fox and
The Crow
|
A Fox once
saw a Crow fly off with a piece of cheese in its beak and settle on a branch
of a tree.
"That's for me, as I am a Fox," said Master Reynard, and he walked
up to the foot of the tree.
"Good day, Mistress Crow," he cried. "How well you are looking
today: how glossy your feathers; how bright your eye. I feel sure your voice
must surpass that of other birds, just as your figure does; let me hear but
one song from you that I may greet you as the Queen of Birds."
The Crow lifted up her head and began to caw her best, but the moment she
opened her mouth the piece of cheese fell to the ground, only to be snapped
up by Master Fox.
"That will do," said he. "That was all I wanted. In exchange
for your cheese I will give you a piece of advice for the future: "Do
not trust flatterers."
