The crow and the fox - moral of the story!

I guess this is a typical Indian story. I was telling my son the story of a crow that was cheated by a fox. It goes like this. There was this crow that flicks a vadai, a south indian delicacy, from an old lady. With the boot in it's mouth the crow settles on a tree. Just then comes a fox. You are so beautiful, can you sing a song for me, saysthe fox. The stupid crow opens its mouth and there goes the vadai right into the mouth of the fox. The disappointed crow was back another day, this time with a boot from the old lady, again. Not to miss a chance the fox shows up under the tree. You are so beautiful, can you sing a song for me, says the fox. Isn't the crow experiencednow? Still not able to resist the flattery, the crow secures the vadai in it's claws and sings what it things is the best song. The fox is not to be out-smarted yet, the fox said 'Man! thats awesome! why dont you spice it up with a dance? That is one heck of a compliment to resist and the crow obliges. The happy fox runs with the vadai in itsmouth. So the story goes several rounds until the crow reaches nirvana!

What's the moral of the story? There are some families that shut their doors tight before the meal. Dont let strangers watch you eat! They have learnt a lesson or two haven't they? ;-)
