The Fox and the Crow

狐狸和乌鸦

The fox is a very clever animal. He can get whatever he needs. He can eat whatever he wants. Being clever all the time was not easy for the fox. It was a lot of hard work. So he really needed his rest. The fox took a nap every afternoon.

狐狸是一种非常聪明的动物。他可以得到他需要的任何东西。他想吃什么就吃什么。 对狐狸来说，一直保持聪明并不容易。这是一项艰巨的工作。 所以他真的需要休息。狐狸每天下午都会小睡一会儿。

One afternoon, the fox was awakened from his nap. It was a crow. She was carrying a big piece of cheese in her beak. The fox stared at the cheese. “ Look at that cheese, ” he said to himself. “ I’m sure it tastes delicious. I must have some of that cheese! ”

一天下午，狐狸从午睡中醒来。那是一只乌鸦。 她嘴里叼着一大块奶酪。狐狸盯着奶酪。 “看那奶酪，”他自言自语道。“我敢肯定它尝起来很好吃。我一定要吃一些那种奶酪!”

The fox thought and thought. Finally, he had an idea. The fox pretended to be asleep. The fox stretched his body. “ Ahh, ” he yawned loudly. The fox looked up at the crow. Then he put his hand upon his heart. “ Oh, hello. Am I still dreaming?”

狐狸想了又想。最后，他有了一个主意。狐狸假装睡着了。 狐狸伸展身体。“啊，”他大声呵欠。 狐狸抬头看着乌鸦。然后他把手放在心口。“哦，你好。我还在做梦吗？”

the fox asked aloud. “ You are the most beautiful crow I have ever seen! ” The crow was embarrassed. She did not know what to say. The fox continued, “ Look at your feathers. They shine like the sun! ” The crow spread her wings a little more.

狐狸大声问道。“你是我见过的最漂亮的乌鸦！” 乌鸦很尴尬。她不知道该说什么。狐狸继续说道：“看看你的羽毛，它们像太阳一样闪闪发光！” 乌鸦把翅膀再张开一点。

“ Your eyes are bright like the moon, ” the fox admired. The crow opened her eyes wide. “ Such a beautiful bird must have a beautiful voice. ” The fox slyly looked at the crow. “ How I would love to hear a song from you! Then I will call you Queen of the Birds! ”

“你的眼睛像月亮一样明亮。”狐狸羡慕地说。乌鸦睁大了眼睛。 “这么漂亮的鸟，声音一定很好听。”狐狸狡猾地看着乌鸦。 “我多么想听到你唱一首歌!”那我就称你为鸟中女王!”
