The pigeons and all birds complain about the well-known fable "The Fox and the Crow" from Aesop's Fables, in which the fox outsmarts a crow for a tiny piece of cheese (a slice of Swiss cheese). So the cubs do a remake of the story in which the crow, who holds a very, very, very big piece of cheese in her beak. The crow had a very, very, very big piece of cheese. Wanting the piece of cheese, the fox tried to think of a way to get the crow to drop it. So the fox tries to trick her into singing in hopes of her becoming the queen of all birds; however, the crow gets the last laugh when she lets the cheese drop onto the fox's head. As for the fox, he learned a very important lesson: "Not all birds are birdbrains".
