The Fox and the Crow (1) |
|
| |
洋溢感恩之情的感恩節狐狸與烏鴉（1） |
|
| |
|
|
| |
One day, a fox saw a crow sitting in a tree. The crow had a piece of cheese in her beak, and she sat in the tree to eat it. The fox thought, "I want that cheese," and then he thought of a way to get it. |
|
| |
The fox walked to the foot of the tree and said, "Hello, Miss Crow. You look beautiful today." "Really?" thought the crow while she looked down at the fox. |
|
| |
The fox said, "Your feathers are so colorful and your eyes are so bright. But birds are not only beautiful to look at. They also can make beautiful music." |
|

|
|
| |
有一天，一隻狐狸看到一隻烏鴉停在樹上，烏鴉嘴裡啣著一塊乳酪，正準備享用。狐狸心想︰「好想吃那塊乳酪喔。」然後，狐狸想到了一個把乳酪佔為己有的方法。 |
|
| |
|
|
| |
狐狸走到樹下說︰「嗨，烏鴉小姐，妳今天看起來真美。」「真的嗎？」烏鴉低頭看著狐狸時想。 |
|
| |
|
|
| |
狐狸繼續說道︰「妳的羽毛如此鮮豔！妳的眼睛如此明亮！但是鳥兒不只看起來迷人，他們也能唱出美妙的音樂。」 |
