I'm pretty sure this is based on the Aesop short story "The Fox and the Crow."

When I saw them live, Aaron said that the song was about a dream that he had.

that's really interesting if that's the case. the similarities with Aesop's story are striking-- the only discernable differences are that it's a piece of cheese and not a cookie, and that there is no explanation of how the crow got the cheese.

Guess what? Its a Bawa Muhaiyaddeen story. Nearly the whole album is. Beetle King and Fig with a Bellyache especially. And the title.
