Crow and Fox

The fox saw a crow on a tree. She was hungry, and she was not averse to profiting from even a crow.

- Why did you climb so high? - asked the fox. - Come down and keep me company!

- Well, no! - answered the crow. “You are hungry, and you will eat me.”

- Ahah! - said the fox. - Don’t you know that father Solomon proclaimed peace between the animals? Don't be afraid, the world has already arrived!

“I know nothing about this command of the great prophet!” - said the crow, turning its head towards the desert.

- What did you see there and where are you looking so intently, my friend? - asked the fox.

“I noticed a man with a dog,” answered the crow. “They are coming here.”

“Okay, goodbye,” said the fox. “God bless you!”

- Why are you leaving so soon? - the crow responded. “Once the prophet’s command has been announced, neither man nor dog will harm you!”

- Of course, of course! — the fox hastily said. “But perhaps man, like you, still knows nothing about the world proclaimed by our powerful prophet.”

And she ducked behind the trees.
