Fox and Crow🦊和乌鸦

Fox and Crow A fox once saw a crow fly off with a piece of cheese in its beak and settle on a branch of a tree. “That's for me, as I am a fox,” said Master Fox, and he walked up to the foot of the tree. “Good day, Mistress Crow,” he cried. “How well you are looking today: how glossy your feathers; how bright your eyes. I feel sure your voice must surpass that of other birds, just as your figure does; let me hear but one song from you that I may greet you as the Queen of Birds.” The crow lifted up her head and began to caw her best, but the moment she opened her mouth the piece of cheese fell to the ground, only to be snapped up by Master Fox. “That will do,” said he.“That was all I wanted. In exchange for your cheese I will give you a piece of advice for the future: Do not trust flatterers.” 狐狸和乌鸦 有一次，一只狐狸看到一只乌鸦嘴里衔着一块奶酪飞过，落在了一棵树的树枝上。“那是给我的，因为我是一只狐狸，”狐狸先生说，然后他走到树脚下。 “日安，乌鸦女士，”他喊道。“你今天看起来多美啊：你的羽毛多有光泽；你的眼睛多明亮。我相信你的声音一定超过了其他鸟类，就像你的身材一样；就让我听一下你的歌声，我就可以尊你为百鸟之王。” 乌鸦抬起头来，开始尽情地叫着，但她一张嘴，那块奶酪就掉到了地上，没想到被狐狸先生一下子抢走了。“这就对了，”他说。“这就是我想要的。作为对你的奶酪的交换，我将送你一条未来的建议。不要相信奉承者。”
