【狐狸和乌鸦 THE FOX AND THE CROW】
A crow was sitting on a branch of a treewith a piece of cheese in her beak
when a fox observed her and set his wits towork to discover some way of
getting the cheese.
Coming and standing under the tree he looked upand said, “What a noble bird I
see above me! Her beauty is without equal, the hue of her plumage exquisite. If
only her voice is as sweet as her looks are fair, she ought without doubt to be
queen of the birds.”
The crow was hugely flattered by this, and just to show the fox that she could sing she gave a loud caw. Down came the cheese, of course, and the fox, snatching it
up, said, “You have a voice, madam, I see. What you want is wits.”
