The Crow & Fox (Central Message)

One warm day, a crow was sitting in a tree, holding a piece of cheese in his beak. A fox walked by just then. The smell of the cheese made the fox's mouth water.

"Hey, Master Crow, how pretty you look!" said the sly fox. "If your voice is as fine as your feathers, you must be the prettiest bird in all these woods!" continued the fox.

Now the crow was an ugly bird, with messy feathers and a harsh voice. The fox's praise thrilled him and made him feel happy. He was so proud of his feathers and voice, so he opened his beak to sing, and the cheese fell out.

"Ha, ha!" laughed the fox, snapping up the cheese. "I only wanted the cheese. That will teach you!"
