The Fox and the Crow

Bu yazımızda, “Tilki ile Karga” olarak bildiğimiz “The Fox and the Crow” hikayesinin basit bir sürümünü derledik.

Once upon a time, in a big forest, there was a crow. One day, the crow found a piece of cheese on the ground. It was a big, yellow, and tasty-looking piece of cheese. She was very happy and picked it up with her beak.

The crow flew up to a tree. She sat on a branch with the cheese. She looked around and thought, “This is a good place. No one can take my cheese here.”

A fox was walking in the forest. He was hungry and looking for food. He saw the crow with the cheese. He thought, “I want that cheese. How can I get it?” He had an idea.

The fox stood under the tree. He looked up at the crow and said, “Hello, beautiful crow! Your feathers are so shiny. And your eyes are so bright. I have heard that you have a lovely voice. Can you sing for me?”

The crow felt very happy and proud. She thought, “The fox thinks I am beautiful and wants to hear me sing!” She wanted to show the fox her voice. So, she opened her mouth to sing.

As soon as the crow opened her mouth, the cheese fell down. The fox quickly caught the cheese and walked away. The crow was sad and understood the trick. She thought, “Next time, I will be more careful.”
