Once upon a time a fox was returning to his den. He was very hungry and could find nothing to eat. Near the forest where he lived there was a village. In the village lived a butcher. “I must go to the butcher’s house and see if I can steal meat from there,” he thought. As he was nearing the village he saw a crow on the branch of a tree. The crow was holding a big piece of meat in her beak.
I must have that piece of meat,” the fox said to himself. “I must find a way to get it. It is not for nothing that people call me the six fox”.
Then he went over to the tree and said, “Good morning, Miss crow. How pretty you look today. You are the most beautiful bird I have ever seen. And people say that no other bird can sing more sweetly than you. Would you sing for me?”
The crow was very pleased to hear all the nice things which the fox said about her.
I’ll be glad to sing a little song for you” she said. She opened her beak and began to sing as loudly as she could. The piece of meat fell to the ground and the fox ate it up.
“Thank you for the song and the meal,” the fox said. “That was very tender meat indeed”.
The crow soon realized that the fox was only flattering her. “I will never trust a flatterer again,” she said sadly to herself.

Floods/ Landslides:
Thousands flee homes as floods paralyze Jakarta
The Jakarta Post, Jakarta
Jan 20, 2005, 13:03
Panic, fatigue and confusion were etched on Wagino's face, a resident of Kalibata in East Jakarta whose house on the Ciliwung river bank was swept away in Wednesday's floods.
"The flood came early at 3 a.m. and it destroyed most of my house. I don't know where to go for temporary shelter," Wagino said.
Wagino was not alone. Thousands of other Jakartans were forced to leave their homes due to massive flooding that engulfed many parts of the capital and paralyzed many roads in the city.
The official estimate reported that at least 8,000 residents across the city were forced to flee to temporary shelters on Wednesday as rainwater completely inundated their homes. No fatalities were reported so far.
"We have received a report that floods have claimed one life. The victim was reportedly electrocuted. But, we have yet to verify the report," said the secretary of the city flood and disaster mitigation task force, Soebagio.
The water level reached up to three meters in Cililitan Kecil, East Jakarta. Despite such dangerous water levels, some residents insisted on staying on their roofs and refusing to leave their homes for fear of looting.
Jakarta Governor Sutiyoso announced on Wednesday that the flooding in the capital had reached a critical level, only a step away from an emergency situation, when Jakarta residents living in flood-prone areas must be evacuated.
"If heavy rain continues and the water level rises to an alarming level, I will have no choice but to open the flood gate, which may cause flooding in elite areas, including the State Palace... I am sure that the President (Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono) would be able to understand this as an emergency situation," he told reporters during his impromptu visit to the Manggarai flood gate in South Jakarta.
