The Fox says to the crow, "How glossy your feathers; how bright your eye. I feel sure your voice must surpass that of other birds, just as your figure does; let me hear but one song from you that I may greet you as the Queen of Birds."

The fox flattered the crow by praising its voice and appearance, suggesting that it was beautiful and capable of singing beautifully. However, this flattery was insincere, as the fox's true intention was to trick the crow into dropping its food. Ultimately, the fox's comments were not genuine; they served as a manipulative tactic to achieve its own goals. Thus, while the crow may have wished to believe the fox, the praise was not true.
The purpose of the fox in flattering the crow, in Aesop's fable The Fox and the Crow, was to get the crow to drop the piece of cheese that it was carrying in its mouth. The fox flatters the crow by saying that it must have the most lovely singing voice and that the fox would love to hear but one song from the crow. So the crow begins to caw and so drops the cheese which the fox takes.
In the story of the fox and the crow, the problem arises when the crow is tricked by the fox into dropping the cheese it was holding by flattering the crow's voice. The crow falls for the flattery and loses the cheese to the cunning fox.
One alternative approach could be for the fox to compliment the crow's singing voice, insisting that the crow should showcase its beautiful voice by opening its mouth to sing. This tactic could potentially appeal to the crow's vanity and prompt it to open its mouth willingly.
the fox flatters the crow and then asks the crow to sing for him noting that he must have an excellent voice to match his excellence in every thing else. when the crow opens his mouth to craw the food he was holding falls out and the fox catches it and eats it. so simply put the answer to your question is flattery.
