One day, a hungry fox was searching for food in the forest. After hours of wandering, he saw a crow sitting on a tree branch with a big piece of cheese in its beak. The fox’s mouth watered as he thought of a clever plan.
He looked up and said, “Dear Crow, you have such a beautiful voice. Will you sing for me?”
The crow, feeling proud, opened its beak to sing. As soon as it did, the cheese fell to the ground. The fox quickly grabbed it and ran away, laughing. “Thank you for the delicious meal!” he said.
The crow realized its mistake but it was too late. The clever fox had tricked it!
