The Clever Cock | 聪明的公鸡

点击查看中英对照

One morning, a fox spotted a cock and thought, "This will be my breakfast."

He approached the cock and said, "I know you sing beautifully. Will you sing for me?" Flattered, the cock closed his eyes and began to sing. Seizing the opportunity, the fox snatched him up in his mouth and ran off.

People working in the field saw this and shouted, "Look! The fox is taking the cock away!"

The cock then said to the fox, "Mr. Fox, do you hear? They say you're stealing their cock. Tell them I belong to you, not them."

The fox opened his mouth to declare, "This cock is mine, not yours!" At that moment, the cock broke free and fled into a tree.
