The Fox and the Crow

 

One morning a Fox was walking through the woods looking for something tasty to eat for his breakfast. He sniffed the air.

‘Cheese,’ he said. ‘I smell cheese.’

Soon the fox saw a crow sitting on a branch high up in a tree and in the crow’s beak was the biggest piece of cheese he’d ever seen. Now the Fox loved cheese more than anything in the whole world and he decided that he would have that piece of cheese for himself.

‘Morning Mr Crow,!  I haven’t heard any beautiful songs for a long time. I bet you’ve got the most beautiful singing voice ’ said the Fox. ‘I can tell just by looking at you. I mean all crows are good singers...’

The Crow nodded.

 

‘And I bet you’re the best singer out of all the crows’  said the fox.

The Crow nodded again.

The crow thought to himself. ‘The Fox is right. I’m a wonderful singer. I shall sing for the Fox right now.’

As the Crow opened his beak and started to sing...the piece of cheese fell to the ground.

The Fox licked his lips. ‘Thank you, Mr Crow,’ he said. ‘You can stop singing now. That horrible sound is spoiling my breakfast.’
