The Crow, The Fox, The Lady and the Donut

We are aware of the story of a crow which stole a salted donut (vada) from a poor lady (who was preparing the same on the roadside). The fox stole from the crow by pretending to be a fan of the crow's voice. When the crow opened up it's mouth to show it's singing skills, the donut dropped due to gravitational force (Damn Newton) and the fox ran away with the piece.

For a long time, people have concentrated on this story and did not talk about what happened next? That's because what followed was a chain of chemical reactions (welllll...not exactly), some law suits, a few angry (a.k.a juicy words) and an All's Well That Ends Well. As you already know, I have a PhD. in human psychology and, I thought, this is the right time to make the world up-to-date about what really happened later.

The lady initiated a law suit against Jon Doe (since she did not know whom to initiate the law suit against). The crow initiated a law suit on Fox since it knew the culprit. To support it's case, it bribed a few more crows and brought them to testify against the fox. The fox denied the charges laid on it, and asked for substantiating proofs. Meanwhile, the lady was following this crow vs fox lawsuit and she thought "Better to side a known devil than an unknown friend". So she stood by the fox. What the crow did not know when it stole the donut was that, the lady was an ex lawyer who, in troubled times, had taken to making donuts. The Lady represented the fox and pleaded her client not guilty. The crow salted the jury (meaning bribing the jury) and tried to tilt the case in it's favor. But the judge favored the fox, since the judge and the lawyer had an affair before the lady became an ex lawyer. The crow lost the case, and a lot of money (remember it had paid it's friends, the jury, the plaintiff, the bus driver, the postmaster etc.). The fox thanked the lady and the judge and every one lived happily ever after.

Good piece of writing. Its a well known fact that Niranjan has a funny bone. Expecting more of the kind.
