One day ,a hungry fox was roaming about in search of food.He saw a crow sitting on the beach of a tree with a piece of cheese in its mouth.He wondered how he could get the piece of cheese from the crow. He thought that flattery was the best method.
So he went close to the tree and began praising the crow. He told the crow how well it sang. He asked the crow to sing for him.The foolish crow believed the fox's words and opened it's beak to sing. At once the piece of cheese fell down.The cunning fox picked it up and ran away.
The moral of the story is: Never be taken in by flattery .
