# 147. The Fox and the woman.
The title should have been The Fox and The Crow. But the story is slightly different. Hence the title too! 'Naran' denotes a man and 'Nari' a woman. This story is about a Naran who conquers a Nari with the cunning of a Fox.
The girls are as great as the Goddess of Earth in their Patience. They are as kind as the Universal Mother. They are as intelligent as the brilliant Sun. Why then do they get cheated by the cunning men?
Manu Dharma Sastra says that parent should not praise their children in their presence. Being born in a cultured and educated family, she has never listened to any praise at home. When a man praises her sky high, just as the fox did the crow, she becomes intoxicated by the praise and throws caution to the wind.
When a crow forgot itself it lost just a snack but the girl will lose her life and future . No one praises anyone else without an ulterior and selfish motive. If she is swept off her feet and gets carried away, her life gets out of her control.
So be on guard young girls! The story of the crow and the fox has been in circulation since several centuries. If you do anything rash, it will reflect on your family members for the rest of their lives.
