Which line from the poem shows how the Fox fools the Raven?
The Raven and the Fox
by Jean de la Fontaine
Mr. Raven was perched upon a limb,
And Reynard the Fox peered up at him;
For the Raven held in his great big beak
A morsel the Fox would go far to seek.
5 Said the Fox, in admiring tones "My word!
Sir Raven, you are a handsome bird.
Such feathers! If you would only sing.
The birds of these woods would call you King."
The Raven, who did not see the joke
10 Forgot that his voice was just a croak.
He opened his beak, in his foolish pride-
And down fell the morsel the Fox had spied.
"Ha-ha!" said the Fox. "And now you see
You should not listen to flattery.
15 Vanity, Sir is horrid vice-
I'm sure the lesson is worth the price.
