Text z Príbehu
- The Fox and The CrowStory from Aesop's Fables
- One bright morning as the Fox was following his sharp nose through the wood in search of a bite to eat, he saw a Crow on the limb of a tree overhead.
- This was by no means the first Crow the Fox had ever seen. What caught his attention this time and made him stop for a second look, was that the lucky Crow held a bit of cheese in her beak.
- No need to search any farther. Here is a dainty bite for my breakfast.
- Up he trotted to the foot of the tree in which the Crow was sitting, and looking up admiringly, he cried,
- Good-morning, beautiful creature!
- The Crow, her head cocked on one side andwatched the Fox suspiciously. But she kept her beak tightly closed on the cheese and did not return his greeting.
- Could she sing just one song, I know I should hail her Queen of Birds!
- What a charming creature she is!
- How her feathers shine! What a beautiful form and what splendid wings!
- Such a wonderful Bird should have a very lovely voice, since everything else about her is so perfect.
- Listening to these flattering words, the Crow forgot all her suspicion and also her breakfast. She wanted very much to be called Queen of Birds.
- So she opened her beak wide to utter her loudest caw
- And down fell the cheese straight into the Fox’s open mouth.
- Thank you
- Though it is cracked, you have a voice sure enough. But where are your wits?
- Moral:The flatterer lives at the expense of those who will listen to him.
