While collecting food he got tired and sat one tree by taking a piece of meat on its beak. He was sitting and relaxing and at that time a fox was passing under the tree and saw the crow with the meat. He was hungry and wanted that meat. He tries to be clever as he knows that the crow will not give the meat. He applies a trick and asks the crow to sing a song because if he sings he has to open his beak and the meat would fall and the fox would collect it. But the crow too was clever he knew that the fox is trying to be clever as he wants the meat. So he keeps the meat under his feet and starts singing. The fox became disappointed and was fooled by the crow. The fooled fox left the place and the hope of eating the meat. The crow giving a wicked smile started enjoying his meal.
