The Crow And The Raven
Aesop Fable: The Crow And The Raven
A crow was jealous of the Raven, because he was considered
a bird of good omen and always attracted the attention
of men, who noted by his flight the good or evil course
of future events. Seeing some travelers approaching, the
Crow flew up into a tree, and perching herself on one of the
branches, cawed as loudly as she could.
The travelers turned
towards the sound and wondered what it foreboded, when
one of them said to his companion, "Let us proceed on our
journey, my friend, for it is only the caw of a crow, and her
cry, you know, is no omen."
Those who assume a character which does not belong to
them, only make themselves ridiculous.
