The crow was so anxious to prove that he had a voice, that hedropped the meat and croaked for all he was worth. Up ran the fox,snapped up the meat, and said to him, "If you added brains to allyour other qualifications, yon would make an ideal king. "
一隻烏鴉停在樹上,嘴裡銜著剛偷來的肉。狐狸看見了,就想把肉弄到手。於是他站在樹下,極力讚美烏鴉是一隻美麗的大鳥,應該做鳥中之王;還說,如果烏鴉能夠發出聲音說話,那么鳥王的寶座必能手到擒來。
為了急於展現自己確實擁有說話能力,烏鴉呱呱大叫,口中的肉卻因此掉了。這時,狐狸衝上去,一口把肉叼走,對烏鴉說:“如果你有大腦,也許還有可能稱王吧!”
