Early one morning, a fox（狐狸） is walking through the woods（木材）. He is hungry, and he is looking for something to eat. He sees a crow（鸦） sitting on the highest branch（树枝） of a tree. The crow has a piece of cheese in her beak（[鸟] 鸟嘴）. "Mmm, I love cheese," thinks the fox. "I think I've found（找到） my breakfast. But how can I get the cheese?" He thinks and he thinks.

  Then he has a clever（聪明的） idea. "I will make her talk（ 谈话）." He sits at the bottom（底） of the tree and looks up at the crow（鸦）. "Good morning, Miss Crow," he says. "It's a lovely（可爱的） day, isn't it?" The crow looks down at the fox. She says nothing.

  "I said good morning," says the fox. "Did you hear me? Maybe you can't hear me up there."
