The Bear and the Crow

There was a Bear who coveted the Bees' honey upon the highest bow. And the Bear said, "I shall not be stung by the Bees, for my skin is thick." So he began to climb up the cleft of the rock, and when he had approached the top, a Mocking Crow landed next to him on a branch. "What are you doing?" asked the intelligent bird. The Bear said, "I am reaching for this honey." The Crow said, "Have you worked for the honey? Did you do anything noteworthy to get it? Or do you wish to spoil these great and wondrous architectures for your own belly? The Bee Keeper at least lets enough for the Bees he keeps, you would spoil the whole hive." The Bear swatted at the Crow, but in that instance, lost foot. He began to fall, and the Crow cawed at him, as he fell to the ground beneath.
