Cunning Compliments
Who doesn't love hearing a compliment? It's nice to be noticed, and for some, having a sense of pride in one's looks is key to their confidence. However, in the fable, 'The Fox and the Crow,' the reader quickly learns that not all compliments come with good intentions and genuine interest.
Read on to learn about the Crow that gets tricked into giving up her meal all because of a few kind words.
The Fox
As the fable opens, the Fox, aka Master Reynard, notices a Crow fly into a tree with a piece of food in her beak. The Fox desires the piece of food and begins to compliment the Crow on her beautiful appearance.
The Fox stares up at the Crow, thinking of how he will get her to drop the food.

While seemingly harmless, the compliments turn from her appearance to her voice. He claims her voice must be just as beautiful and asks her to sing for him. As soon as the Crow opens her mouth, the piece of food falls to the ground, and the Fox scoops it up. He reminds the Crow that you should never 'trust your flatterers.'
The Crow
The Crow finds herself a piece of food and flies up into a tree to enjoy her meal. The Fox calls up to her and begins complimenting her on her beautiful looks. Not realizing his true intent, the Crow plays into his words and enjoys the flattery. When asked to sing for the Fox, the Crow does so without hesitation. She instantly opens her beak, forgetting about the food she had gathered. It seems she wanted to feed her ego more than her hunger. The food falls to the ground for the Fox to enjoy.
Due to the Crows vanity, she begins to sing and drops the food from her mouth.

Analysis
Clearly the Fox knew when the Crow opened her mouth that the food would fall, and he would get what he desired. His plan worked, preying on the innocence and the ego of the Crow. However, the Fox's ego is even larger than hers, making him first believe he is entitled to her food, and secondly, that tricking the Crow was a morally good choice.
