English Original
A crow stole a piece of meat and perched in a tree, holding it in her beak. A fox saw this and desired the meat for himself. He devised a cunning plan.
"How handsome the crow is," he exclaimed, "in the beauty of her shape and the fairness of her complexion! Oh, if only her voice matched her beauty, she would rightly be considered the Queen of Birds!"
He spoke deceitfully. Eager to refute the slight on her voice, the crow let out a loud caw and dropped the meat. The fox quickly snatched it up and said to the crow, "My good crow, your voice is fine enough, but your wit is lacking."

一只乌鸦偷了一块肉，衔在嘴里，停在树上。一只狐狸看见了，很想把肉据为己有，于是想出了一个狡猾的计策。
他赞叹道：“这只乌鸦多么英俊啊，体态优美，羽毛光洁！噢，要是她的声音能和她的美貌相配，她当之无愧是鸟中之王！”
他这番话是骗人的。乌鸦急于反驳对她声音的贬低，便大声“呱”地叫了一声，肉随之掉了下来。狐狸迅速叼起肉，对乌鸦说：“我亲爱的乌鸦，你的声音确实不错，但你的智慧却有所欠缺。”
