狐狸和乌鸦
A crow found a piece of cheese and flew up into a tree to eat it. A fox passing below saw the cheese and wanted it for himself.
"Good morning, Mrs Crow," he called up. "How beautiful you look today! Your feathers are so glossy, and your eyes are so bright. I'm sure your voice must be just as lovely. Won't you sing a song for me?"
The crow was delighted. Nobody had ever praised her like that before. She lifted her head, opened her beak and let out a loud "Caw!"
Down fell the cheese, straight into the fox's mouth.
"Thank you," said the fox, licking his lips. "Your voice is fine, but your judgement isn't. Next time, be careful who you trust."
Be careful of people who say nice things just to get what they want.
一只乌鸦找到了一块奶酪，飞到树上准备享用。一只狐狸从树下经过，看见了奶酪，也想据为己有。
“早上好啊，乌鸦太太，”它朝树上喊道，“您今天真漂亮！羽毛油光发亮，眼睛炯炯有神。我敢说，您的嗓音也一定同样动听。能为我唱首歌吗？”
乌鸦高兴极了，从来没有人这样夸过它。它抬起头，张开嘴，大声叫了一声：“呱！”
奶酪一下子掉了下去，正好掉进狐狸的嘴里。
“谢谢啦，”狐狸舔着嘴唇说，“您的嗓子还不错，可脑子就差了点。下次可要当心，别谁的话都信。”
那些说好听话只为了得到好处的人，一定要提防。
