Identifying CAUSE-AND-EFFECT RELATIONSHIP

Rea the short fable. Underline the CAUSE and
encircle the EFFECT.
A fox said to a crow with a piece of cheese
between its beak, If you can sing as prettily
as you sit, then you are the prettiest singer.

The fox thought that once the crow starts to

sing, the cheese would drop from her beak.
But the crow carefully removed the cheese
from the claws on one foot and said, they
say you are sly, but you cannot fool me. Not
giving up, the fox continued to praise the
crow, I wish I could ear you tell about your
talents but I have to go look for food because
Im hungry.
A friend in need, Is a
friend indeed. =)
