THE FOX AND THE CROW
Reading edition
Characters—Fox and Crow
Crow. Ah! Some one has left a bit of cheese for me. I’ll fly up into that tree and eat it.
Fox. [To himself.] That cheese is for me, as sure as I am a fox.
[Goes to the tree.]
Good day, Mistress Crow. How well you are looking. What bright eyes you have. I am sure your voice must be sweet. Just let me hear you sing one song.
[Crow lifts her head.]
Crow. Caw—caw—caw.
Fox. [Snaps up cheese.] That bit of cheese was all I wanted.
