A crow was sitting on a tree branch with a piece of delicious cheese in its mouth.
A fox saw the crow and wanted the cheese.
The fox thought and thought about how it could get the cheese.
Finally the fox had an idea.
The fox said, "What a special bird!
It is the most beautiful bird in the world.
Are its songs as beautiful as its face?"
These kind words made the crow very happy, and the crow wanted to sing a song for the fox.
But when the crow opened its mouth to sing, the cheese fell down!
The smart fox quickly ran and got the cheese.
Then the fox said to the crow, "You are very beautiful, but not very smart."
Don't always believe people who tell you kind things.
不要总是相信那些奉承你的人。
