Clever Crow and the Greedy Jackal

One day, a crow found a piece of bread and sat on a tree to eat it. A jackal, passing by, saw the bread and wanted it for himself. He thought of a trick and said, “Oh, dear crow, I have heard that your voice is the sweetest of all birds! Will you sing a song for me?” 

The crow, flattered by the praise, opened its beak to sing, and the bread fell to the ground. 

The jackal quickly grabbed it and ran away, laughing at the foolish crow. The crow felt ashamed and realized that he had been tricked. From that day on, he never believed in false praise again.  

Moral: Beware of flattery; it can deceive you.
