Once, a crow was watching a flock of sheep while sitting on a tree. Now, this crow was very naughty. He saw a sheep near him, flew down, and sat on her back. The sheep asked in surprise, “Who is on my back? What do you want?” The crow replied, “I am a crow. Take me around on your back.” The sheep was very gentle and agreed to carry the crow around. But after some time, the sheep felt the claws of the crow getting into her skin. She said to the crow, “I am being hurt by your claws. If you had been sitting on a dog’s back, the dog would have enjoyed you as his dessert.” The crow replied, “I hate the weak and give up to the strong. I know whom to bully and whom to praise.” The poor sheep was rendered speechless.
