The Moral value of the fable "The Fox and The Crow".

Fable is a short allegorical narrative making a moral point, traditionally by means of animal characters who speak and act like human beings.There are many well known fables from Malaysia such as "Kancil and The Farmer", "Kancil and The Elephant" and "Kancil and The Crocodile".
When I was young, I was attracted with the story "Kancil and The Crocodile". I like to read the story again and again. The first thing which impressed me was the kancil's intelligency to trick the crocodile. The moral value that i have learnt from that story was, if you are a quick thinker, you can escape from any danger. As for the story "The Fox and The Crow" which is a famous fable among young children also has moral values. The moral value which I identified from the story is 'Don't be too fasinated with praises'. One must think, why a person praises us out of sudden. Don't simply melted by praises and become the victim of the situation.
