STORY
False Admirations

Once upon a time, there was a crow who was very hungry and wanted to have food. He found a piece of
cheese from somewhere and picked it up. He flied to a tree and sat there to eat the piece properly. A fox was
roaming around and was too very hungry. She was very clever. She saw the crow eating cheese piece and
she wanted to eat that. She thought of an idea and started to play with the crow. She started praising the crow
by saying that he has a voice of heaven and his voice is so soothing and relaxing and great. She started
flattering the crow.
She asked the crow to once sing a song for her. The crow was very pleased. He opened his mouth to sing and
suddenly the piece of cheese fell from his mouth to the ground. It was the fox’s trick to take food from the
crow. The fox picked up the piece if cheese and she ran away.
