Cow vs. Crow

One day, a Cow was eating some delicious grass.
Suddenly, a small black bird flew near the cow, and said,
“Hello! I am Mr. Crow, and I can do anything!”
The cow did not like this bird because he was busy eating the grass.
So the cow said, “Can you fly upside down?”
The crow said, “Piece of cake!” (and he did).
The cow was unimpressed and said, “Can you make it rain?”
Mr. Crow flapped his wings and summoned a dark cloud.
But instead of rain, it caused a storm.
The wind blew Mr. Crow off balance, and he fell to the ground.
The cow chuckled and said, “Sometimes, showing off leads to a fall.”
From then on, Mr. Crow learned to be more humble.
