Once upon a time, there was a crow.

"Hello"!

Who found a piece of cheese on the ground.

She took the cheese in her mouth and flew to a nearby tree.

But, before she could eat it, she saw a fox on the road below.

The fox smelled the cheese.

And said to the crow...

HELLO MADAM. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY, IS IT NOT?

You look irridescent!

So the fox said...

The crow did not open her mouth to answer.

(That means very sparkly.)

Luke Bunch

The crow was pleased to hear that (although she wasn't actually iridescent at all). She smiled but did not open her mouth.

Emma Poole

The fox said...

Charlotte Youngs

What a beautiful smile you have!

The crow laughed. (But she did not open her mouth.)

The fox frowned. (He was getting hungry.)

Wyatt Miller

HaHaHa!

What a musical laugh you have! Sing again!

Luke Poole

What a beautiful smile you have!

The crow did not have a beautiful voice at all.

But... she was so flattered that...

She opened her mouth wide and sang!

The cheese fell down to the road below.

Where the fox ate it.

Thank you! That was delicious.

I'll catch you later!

And off down the road went the fox.

The crow had learned a valuable lesson.

I'll catch you later!

Never trust a flatterer!

(Or talk to strangers... or hungry foxes.)
