THE HAWK AND THE CROW

Once upon a time, a crow watched a hawk catching a little lamb up toThe sky.

The crow remembered what the hawk did. It believed it could do that too.

One day, while the lamb-watcher was being away, the crow flew to catch a lamb like the hawk,

The lamb-watcher saw the crow stuck on the lamb. He trimmed its wings and brought it back to his child at home. When his child asked, " dear Daddy, What kind is this bird?" He answered, “this is the crow who thinks it the great hawk"
