cautionary tale

"A cawtinary tale" is a play on words, combining "cautionary tale" with the sound a crow makes, "caw." In essence, it's a story that serves as a cautionary lesson or warning, often using clever wordplay or elements of humor. The narrative typically highlights the consequences of certain actions or behaviors, aiming to impart wisdom or insight to the audience. In this unique twist, crows or other birds may be characters, adding a whimsical or imaginative element to the tale.
