Crows and Ravens The raven was jealous of the raven, who was respected and worshipped as a divine bird who could predict the future. The crow was eager to gain the same fame. One day, a crow saw that some passers-by were coming, so it flew to a branch by the roadside and began to crow as loudly as it could.
