"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 to-day: 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."

After reading this story I think that, the words “Do not trust flatterers” like the fox flatter the mistress Crow, make her forgot all everything if she had something in her mouth and up her head and began to caw her best till fallen cheese on to the ground, so if you don’t think about someone flatter it will become losing property.
