The Fox and The Crow

​I think most people are familiar with Aesop's Fable about The Fox and the Crow.

​In this story, the Crow has found a wonderful round of cheese and is sitting in a tree, when along comes a sweet-talking fox.  He wants the cheese for himself, but how to get it?  He convinces the Crow that she has a beautiful voice and would love to hear her sing.  She is flattered, opens her mouth to sing and, sadly for her, the cheese drops to the ground.  Now, when you think about this fable, it becomes apparent that casting is important.  Crows are really, really intelligent.  Only a sly fox would have been right for this role ... for who else, in the entire animal kingdom would have the ability to out-smart a crow?

Disclaimer:  Many of the items sold are vintage or pre-loved. Quality of vintage items vary with the manufacturing methods available at the time of production. They are not made to current standards of manufacturing ... and in my opinion, that is usually a good thing! They tend to be higher quality, last longer and include more attention to detail than today's products. However, safety standards do change over time, items do deteriorate with age, and it is up to the customer to decide how they will use each product.
