Questão 24

   One day a crow finds a tasty piece of cheese. She picks it up, flaps her wings, and flies to a high branch of a
tree to eat it.
 Down on the ground, a fox sees her. “Oho!” he says to himself, “That looks like a delicious piece of cheese.
Maybe I can get it away from that old crow.”
[5]     He walks over to the tree and calls to the crow in a very friendly voice. “You look so pretty today, Madam
Crow!” he says. “Your feathers are so beautiful and your eyes so bright! And is your voice more beautiful than
ever today?”
    Now, some people think crows have beautiful feathers and bright eyes. However, most people do not think
crows have beautiful voices. The crow listens to the nice words of the fox and likes what she hears. Of course,
[10] she tries to sing for him. But as soon as she opens her mouth, the cheese drops. Snap! The fox has it in his mouth
before it reaches the ground.
     The fox quickly eats the cheese. Then he turns to the crow and says, “You cannot trust a person who flatters
you,” and runs away.
