7 The fox and the crow

Chapter 7 The fox and the crow A fox was out for a stroll when he saw a crow perched up in a tree.

第七章狐狸和乌鸦一只狐狸出去散步，看见一只乌鸦栖息在树上。

The crow had stolen a lump of cheese. She was feeling very pleased with herself.

乌鸦偷了一块奶酪。 她对自己感到非常满意。

"I'd like that cheese for myself," thought the fox. He stopped under the tree and started to tell the crow how lovely she looked. Wow! I've never seen a bird as stunning as you. You have such pretty feathers...

“我想要那块奶酪，”狐狸想。 他停在树下，开始告诉乌鸦她是多么可爱。 哇!我从没见过像你这么漂亮的鸟。 你的羽毛真漂亮……

The crow believed every word. "I suppose I am quite beautiful," she thought. "I bet you have an amazing voice as well," continued the fox.

乌鸦相信每一句话。 “我想我是相当漂亮的，”她想。 “我敢打赌你的声音也很好听，”狐狸继续说。

"I do!" thought the crow, wanting to show off her voice. She opened her beak and gave a loud "caw". Out dropped the cheese, straight into the fox's mouth. Yum! And the moral is... Don't be fooled by flattery.

“我愿意！”乌鸦想，想炫耀一下自己的声音。 她张开嘴，大声地“叫”了一声。 奶酪掉了出来，直接掉进了狐狸的嘴里。 Yum !寓意是……不要被奉承所迷惑。
