Glad to know who still remember the Poems you studied/learning when you were a kid, I also do remember some of them. These Poems are among the good memories we have from our past. Some of them teaches us what is good for us in the future/upcoming life and what is not. In the story you just mentioned in the start of your post @vcelier , The fox act cleverly and crow opened his mouth and dropped what he has in his mouth.
