She flew to a tall tree and held it in her beak.

“Mmm… I want that cheese.
But how can I get it?”

The fox looked up and smiled.
FOX (sweetly):
“Oh beautiful crow!
Your feathers shine!
I bet your voice is beautiful too.”

The crow was happy.
She wanted to show her lovely voice.
She opened her beak—
CAAW!
NARRATOR:
The cheese fell!

The fox grabbed it and ran away.
FOX (laughing):
“Thank you!
Next time, don’t trust sweet words!”

She felt silly.

Don’t believe flattery—
especially when someone wants something.
