The Crow and the King

“Who made you king?” Crow called up to Hawk.

Hawk peered down at Crow. “I can fly the highest and fastest.”

Crow cackled. “Really? Fly to the farmer’s house and steal his watch.”

Hawk took flight. When he flew out of the fireplace the farmer’s wife hit him with a skillet.


Moral: Pride goes before a fall.

  1. Silly hawk for taking advice from a crow. Clearly it didn't read fables about the untrustworthiness of crows when it was still in down feathers.

  4. Silly Hawk. Should've known when the crow "cackled". Love the choice of that verb.

  6. Crows are excellent thieves so Hawk should have known that if it could be stolen, Crow would already have it!
