Crow & the Fox

The original:

Once there was a crow. It took a piece of cake from a bakery and sat on a tree to eat. There came our fox. The fox told the crow , you are beautiful, your voice is like honey. Why don't you sing a song. Hearing the cunning words, the crow started singingng, opening its mouth. The cake piece drops down and the fox happily ran away with it.

The remix:

Once there was a crow. It took a piece of cake from a bakery and sat on a tree to eat. There came our fox. The fox told the crow , you are beautiful, your voice is like honey. Our intelligent modern crow knows the plot. She cleverly took the cake in her paws, started singing. Unmindfull of the voice, the fox again started, "I heard now a days you dance also. Why don't you dance also?

The crow once againg took the cake in her beak and started dancing.

The fox with heavy heart ran back into the forest saying" Those were the days, my forefathers use to cheat these bloody crows. Now they are very smart"

Now, the question for the viewers, if the fox asked the crow to sing and dance what the modern crow would have done?

The modern crow would eat the peice of bread first and then start singing and dancing

Maybe the author of the retelling should consider being a rocket scientist.

The modern crow shall be happy with eating the the piece of cake and enjoy singing and dancing together and with less attention to the cunning word.
