Espina Campus, General Santos City

The flatterer lives at the expense of those who will listen to him.

you should not always trust those who flatter you, as
they may not have honorable intentions.

hed eaten his cheese!

beautiful than your feathers," said the

"Won't you sing a song for me, O
Queen of Birds?"
The cheese fell to the ground, right in
front of the Fox.
The Crow was so pleased she could
hardly sit still.
