A cunning Fox and a Foolish Crow Story Writing
Ans. Once a crow was sitting on the branch of a tree. It had a plece of meat in its beak. Suddenly a fox came there and stopped under the tree. He sniffed something good to eat. Looking about, he saw the meat in the crow's mouth. He felt an over whealming desire to have the plece of meat. How could he get the meat? He could not climb the tree.
What good would it do if he could? The crow would fly away when she saw him coming. He could not coax the crow to come down to the ground. Because the crow knew what a fox likes to eat. At last the fox had a crafty thought. He said to himself. "A crow is one of the proudest birds I ever know. I will flatter her and she will forget about the meat."
So he called out in his sweetest voice, "Good day, my pretty bird". But the crow did not reply. She only stepped about proudly on the branch. "I wish I had such a beautiful appearance as you have," said the fox. Still no answer, but the crow held up her head and turned it first to one side and then to the other, showing that she was pleased.

"What a graceful neck and bright eyeľ said the fox. "The other birds may well be jealous of you." No answer yet. She only raised her wings a little and gazed down upon the fox. "If your voice were only as beautiful as your appearance and your dress, you would be the queen of all the birds; but it seems that you cannot talk at all.
What a pity that you are dumb!" The crow gave a loud "caw!" As she did so, the meat fell from her mouth. The fox snapped it quickly and went away. The poor crow at last understood that the fox was only fooling her but it was too late.
