Ron Reads Boring Books
Are you tired? You will be. Because I will read to you a boring book and it will be worse than you doing nothing. This podcast is not intended to entertain you. It is intended to bore you. The length of each podcast will vary so you cannot plan your listening easily. Some reads will be short. Some will be excruciatingly long. There will be no intro or outro music. The only sound is my voice and other random sounds as they happen. I change my voice as I read the dialog. Also, I have a southern accent and do not read well. Thank you for listening.

The Flatterer's Trap
Ron reads Aesop's classic fable "The Fox and the Crow," sharing the timeless tale of a cunning fox who uses flattery to trick a vain crow into dropping her cheese. The story delivers the ageless wisdom to beware of those who use excessive praise to manipulate others for their own gain.
• A fox spots a crow with cheese in its beak sitting on a tree branch
• The fox flatters the crow extensively about her appearance and presumed beautiful voice
• When the crow opens her mouth to sing and prove her talents, she drops the cheese
• The fox snatches the fallen cheese and delivers the moral: "Do not trust flatterers"
• Ron reads this classic tale in his signature straightforward style

Hello, are you tired? You will be. This is Ron Reads, and Ron, apparently, is reading another fable of Aesop. This time, though, we're doing the fox and the crow. I hope you enjoy.
Speaker 1:A fox once saw a crow fly off with a piece of cheese in its beak and sit on a branch of a tree. Piece of cheese in its beak and sat on a branch of a tree, that's for me, as I am a fox, said Master Raynard, and he walked up to the foot of the tree. Good day, mistress Crow. He cried. How well you are looking today, how glossy your feathers, how bright your eye. I feel sure your voice must surpass that of other birds, just as your figure does, just as your figure does. Let me hear but one song from you that I might greet you as the queen of birds. The crow lifted up her head and began to call her best, but the moment she opened her mouth, the piece of cheese fell to the ground, only to be snapped up by Master Fox. That will do, said he. That was all I wanted In exchange for your cheese. I will give you a piece of advice for the future Do not trust flatterers.
