The Crow and The Fox

A crow sat down in a tree after he had stolen a piece of meat. And when a fox saw him, he wanted to get that piece of meat. So he sat down and said to the the crow that he was handsome as well as majestic, that it struck him very much that he was the king of all birds and that it would strike him even more when he would have a beautiful voice. To prove that he indeed had a beautiful voice he began to caw loudly, by which he let the piece of meat fall to the ground. And after the fox had catched the meat and run off with it he said to the crow: "Hey crow! Even if you had some sense you certainly would not have been the king of all birds."
