Aesop's Fables - The Crow and the Fox

| The Crow and the Fox |
Once a fox saw a Crow fly off with a piece of cheese in its beak and settle on a branch of a tree.
"That's for me," said the fox, and he walked up to the foot of the tree.
"Good Day, Mistress Crow," the fox cried. "How well you are looking today; how glossy your feathers; how bright your eyes."
The clever fox continued, "I feel sure your voice must surpass that of the other birds, just as your figure does. Let me hear but one song from you that I may greet you as the Queen of Birds."
