Once upon a time, a clever fox lived in a forest. One day, the fox saw a bird perched high on a tree. It was a very hot day and the fox was thirsty.

He slyly looked at the bird and said, “You can fly. You can easily find water. Can you help me find some? We can share it.”

So, the bird cawed and swooped down the tree. He glided through the forest. The fox followed him. Soon, the bird perched near a pitcher. The fox peeped inside. The fox said, “Bird, you are so fast. Why don’t you go and get some stones to drop it inside the pot?”

As soon as the bird went to get the stones, the fox got some stones that lay behind a tree and dropped it inside the water. The water level had risen and the fox licked the water.

The bird had learned a lesson.

Moral: Don’t do something just because someone tells you to do it.
