The Fox and The Crow
A Fox once saw a Crow fly off with a piece of cheese in its beak and settle on a branch of a tree.
"That's for me, as I am a Fox," said Master Reynard, and he walked up to the foot of the tree.
"Good day, Mistress Crow," he cried. "How well you are looking today: how glossy your feathers; how bright your eye. I feel sure your voice must surpass that of other birds, just as your figure does; let me hear but one song from you that I may greet you as the Queen of Birds."
The Crow lifted up her head and began to caw her best, but the moment she opened her mouth the piece of cheese fell to the ground, only to be snapped up by Master Fox.
"That will do," said he. "That was all I wanted. In exchange for your cheese I will give you a piece of advice for the future: "Do not trust flatterers."

This is a great lesson.If you feel that you dont have any specific skill, then also someone is greeting you for that skill; you should recognize that he may be a flatterer. Never trust people who expect something from you, just saying few words of compliments.

I liked this story because it’s not only a funny story but also tells us an important thing. We already know it’s NOT a clever thing to believe someone easily, BUT we’re still gullible! Why? Because everybody likes to be praised! So, we have to be careful anytime, especially when someone praise us a lot. Dont forget that we shouldNOT believe everyone.
