Once upon a time, a hungry crow was flying over a field in search of food. As it soared through the sky, it spotted a serpent basking in the sun, lying still and motionless on the ground. The crow, delighted at the prospect of an easy meal, dove down and pounced on the serpent.
The crow swiftly attacked the serpent with its sharp talons, but the serpent quickly woke up and retaliated by biting the crow with its venomous fangs. The crow, realizing its mistake, struggled to break free, but it was too late. The serpent's venom had already coursed through its body, and the crow fell to the ground, lifeless.
Thus, the serpent slithered away, content and satisfied, while the unfortunate crow lay dead on the ground, regretting its foolish decision.
