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 feathers 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!”.
