READ THE FABLE ATTENTIVELLY.

A Crow, having stolen a bit of meat, sat in a tree and held it in
her beak. A hungry Fox, seeing this, envied the crow and
wished to have the meat for himself. So he came up with a
cunning plan.
“How gracious you are,” he exclaimed, “how beautifully your
feathers shine! Oh, if only your voice were equal to your
beauty, you would deserve to be called the Queen of Birds!”
The Crow was really flattered by these words, so, anxious to
be called the Queen of Birds, she gave a loud caw and
dropped the meat. The Fox quickly picked it up, and thus
addressed the Crow:
“My dear Crow, you have a nice voice, indeed, but I’m afraid
you have no wits.”
