A CROW having stolen a bit of meat, perched in a tree and held it in her beak. A Fox, seeing this, longed to possess the meat himself, and by a wily stratagem succeeded. "How handsome is the Crow," he exclaimed, in the beauty of her shape and in the fairness of her complexion! Oh, if her voice were only equal to her beauty, she would deservedly be considered the Queen of Birds!" This he said deceitfully; but the Crow, anxious to refute the reflection cast upon her voice, set up a loud caw and dropped the flesh. The Fox quickly picked it up, and thus addressed the Crow: "My good Crow, your voice is right enough, but your wit is wanting."
Moral:We should not give in to compliments but rather use our wits.
Refection:
Some people are easily tricked with other people's compliments in their physical appearance not knowing the real purpose of the compliment. When we give in to these deceitful compliments, we become a dumb for not knowing the real thing but we really commit mistakes. What is important is to learn from our mistakes.
