Child's
French Sad Iron with Fox and Crow
This child's iron is embossed in high relief with an image from the French
fable of the Fox and the Crow, which goes along the lines of the wise fox
coveting the piece of cheese held in the mouth of the crow, so he flatters
him---whereupon the foolish crow opens his beak to thank his admirer and in
the process lets the cheese fall right into the fox's mouth.
Moral of the story---when someone pays you a compliment keep your mouth shut. Huh?
A neat story and a really neat iron!
Excellent ........ $225.00
