A hungry fox spots a crow sitting on a tree branch with a delicious piece of cheese in its beak. The cunning fox hatches a plan and flatters the crow, praising its beauty and asking if it can sing. The proud crow, eager to show off its voice, opens its beak to caw—only to drop the cheese! The fox quickly snatches it and smirks, teaching the crow a valuable lesson about flattery and foolish pride.
