Not Every Offer Is What It First Appears To Be |
|
Mr. Fox was a crafty one. He often caught other creatures by surprise. Teasing & trickery was his way. One day, Mr. Fox found a gemstone ring by the road. He figured the sparkling gem would catch Mr. Raven’s eye. And it did. Mr. Fox offered to trade the ring for some of the meat hanging to dry in the farmer’s shed. But when Mr. Raven flew away, the fox hid the ring in the woods, thinking no one would find it. Mr. Raven followed him, though, flying high overhead. Then he took the ring and the meat for himself.
