The Fox and the Crow story teaches us that we should never fall for flattering words, and the flatterer lives at the expense of those who will listen to him.

Just finished this #drawthisinyourstylechallenge set by @bserway (Scroll to see original Illustration) . . This one was so much fun, and I discovered a new folk tale that I hadn't heard before. . . The Fox and the Crow, retold by me @orangefruitcake . So there's this crow right? And she finds a marvellous lump of delicious smelling chease. (Yes Chease, not cheese... this is a Vegan Woodland) Very happy with her find she scoops it up in her beak and retires to her favourite branch to savour the flavour. A passing fox smells that mighty fine chease in the air and stalks over to investigate. He decides that he wants that chease to himself; and so he tricks the crow, dazzling her with words of her beauty. "What a pretty bird you are... Such fine feathers you have... Oh I'm sure you must have such a lovely singing voice to match your beauty..." "🎵CAW-CAAAWWW🎶" -Thud- *Snaffle* Tricked into singing, she drops her chease and the fox gobbles it up and runs off. . Life lesson? Don't listen to flattery. . . . #drawserway #folkart #folktales #foxandthecrow #fox #foxart #crow #crowart #folktales #fantasyillustration #kidlitart #storybookart #fairytaleart #woodlandart #veganartist #veganart #chease #story #shortstory #folkstory https://www.instagram.com/p/CCqf4gol4Cw/?igshid=1l8ih5gobi3yk
