    favour. A fox walking in the fields one day saw a crow in the distance. When she flew nearer he saw that she had a cheese in her mouth. The fox was hungry and a plan formed in his mind. The wild animal said "I am sure you are a wonderful singer, o beautiful bird.
    Enamoured at hearing this the silly bird opened its mouth to sing. Thereupon the cheese fell to the ground to be snapped up by the waiting fox. Such are brains.
