A fox saw a crow fly off woth a piece of cheese in its beak and setle on a branch of a tree. Thats for me,
as I am a fox, said Master Reynard, and he walked up to the foot of the tree. Good day, Mistress Crow,
he cried. How well you are looking today; how glossy your feathers how bright your eyes. I feel sure your
voice must surpass that of other birds, just as your figure does; let me hear but one song from you that I
may greet you as the Queen of Birds. The crow lifted up her head and began to caw her best, but the
moment she opened her mouth the piece of cheese fell to the ground, only to go snapped up by master
Fox. That will do, said he. That was all I wanted. In exchange for your cheese I will give you a piece of
advice for the future: Do not trust flatterers.
