The Fox and the Crow

《狐狸和乌鸦》

A

Early one morning,

a fox is walking through the woods.

He is hungry,

and he is looking for something to eat.
一天清晨，

一只狐狸在树林里散步。

他很饿，

正在寻找食物。

B

He sees a crow sitting on the highest branch of a tree.

The crow has a piece of cheese in her beak.

“Mmm… I love cheese!" thinks the fox.

"I think I’ve found my breakfast!

他看到一只乌鸦坐在树上的最高枝头。

乌鸦的嘴里叼着一块奶酪。

“嗯……我喜欢奶酪！”狐狸想。

“我想我找到早餐了！

C

But how can I get the cheese?"

‍He thinks and he thinks.

Then he has a clever idea.

"I will make her talk!"

但我该怎么得到奶酪呢？”

他想啊想。

然后他想到一个聪明的主意。

“我要让她说话！”

D

He sits at the bottom of the tree and looks up at the crow.

“Good morning, Miss Crow!” he says.

"It’s a lovely day, isn’t it?"

‍The crow looks down at the fox.

She says nothing.

他坐在树下，抬头看着乌鸦。

“早上好，乌鸦小姐！”他说。

“今天真是个美好的一天，不是吗？”

乌鸦低头看着狐狸。

她什么也没说。

E

"I said, good morning!" says the fox.

"Did you hear me? Maybe you can't hear me up there...”

‍The crow is suspicious.

She holds the cheese tightly in her beak and says nothing.

"Hmm. This is not so easy," thinks the fox.

But he doesn’t give up.

“我说，早上好！”狐狸说。

“你听到我说话了吗？也许你在上面听不到……”

乌鸦很怀疑。

她紧紧地叼住奶酪，什么也没说。

“嗯，这可不容易，”狐狸想。

但他不放弃。

F

He smiles at the crow.

“You know… you really are the most beautiful bird,” he says.

Your feathers are so shiny!

Your eyes are so intelligent!

Your beak is so…umm… pointy!

Everything about you is perfect!”

Still, the crow says nothing.

他对乌鸦微笑。

“你知道吗……你真的是最美丽的鸟，”他说。

“你的羽毛是如此光亮！

你的眼睛是如此聪明！

你的嘴……嗯……如此尖！

你的一切都是完美的！”

乌鸦仍然什么也没说。

G

So the fox says: “Tell me, Miss Crow…

is your voice ALSO magnificent?

I hear that you have the most wonderful voice.

Please sing for me! Just one song!

Then I can tell everyone you really are the most incredible bird —

— the queen of all birds, in fact!”

于是狐狸说：“告诉我，乌鸦小姐……

你的声音也是那么优美吗？

我听说你有最美妙的声音。

请为我唱一首歌吧！就一首！

然后我可以告诉大家你真的是最不可思议的鸟——

——实际上是所有鸟中的女王！”

H

This makes the crow feel good.

She wants everyone to know she has a wonderful voice.

She wants everyone to know that she is the queen of all birds.

She smiles a little smile.

Then she smiles a big smile.

Then she opens her mouth to sing her best song for the fox.

这让乌鸦感觉很好。

她希望所有人都知道她有一个美妙的声音。

她希望所有人都知道她是所有鸟中的女王。

她露出了一丝微笑。

然后她露出一个大大的微笑。

然后她张开嘴，为狐狸唱她最好的歌。

I

And… plop!

The cheese drops out of her beak and falls straight into the mouth of the fox.

He swallows it in one gulp.

"Thank you for the delicious breakfast, Miss Crow!"

laughs the fox as he walks away.

"Have a lovely day!”

于是……啪嗒！

奶酪从她的嘴里掉下来，直接落入狐狸的嘴里。

他一口吞了下去。

“谢谢你给我美味的早餐，乌鸦小姐！”

狐狸笑着说，走开了。

“祝你有美好的一天！”
