Fox and the Cream Biscuit
by Vikram Kadam seoOnce upon a time, there
was a very clever fox who lived in the forest. One day, the fox was hungry. He
really wanted to eat something sweet, like a cookie. Just then, he saw a crow
sitting on a branch. The crow had a cream biscuit in his beak which he had snatched
away from a little boy. The fox’s mouth started watering on seeing the biscuit.
He started thinking of a way of getting the biscuit for himself.
The fox said
to the crow, “Dear crow, the lion king told me that you sing beautifully. But I
have never heard your voice. Will you sing a song for me?” The crow was so
pleased on hearing the fox’s flattering words that he immediately opened his
beak and began, “Caw,caw, caw.” As soon as the crow opened his beak, the cream
biscuit fell down. The cunning fox immediately munched it up and went off.
The next day,
the fox came across the crow again. This time, the crow had a piece of cake in
his mouth. The fox also wanted that cake. He said, “Dear crow, please forgive
me about yesterday. Your song was so sweet
and I really wanted to
hear the whole song but I spotted a rabbit nearby so I ran away. Please sing
that song for me again.” But the crow had understood the fox’s trick. He flew
off towards his nest with the piece of cake in his beak. After keeping the cake
safely in his nest, he returned to where he was sitting and began singing
loudly, “Caw, caw, caw.” The fox could not bear to listen to the crow’s voice
and ran away.
