The tale is a fable. Its moral is that it is often unwise to tell one's friends unpleasant things, even if they are true. The story also explains how crows came to be black and why they cannot sing beautifully as many other birds can do. The story's ultimate source is the collection of Latin verse tales Metamorphoses, written by the poet Ovid in the 1st century CE, although other adaptations of the story were popular in Chaucer's time.
