Ræven smigrer kragen

The fox flatters the crow

Danish

En ræv så en krage med et stykke ost i næbbet. Hun fløj hen til et træ og satte sig på en gren. Ræven ville have osten, så han gik hen til træet.

English translation

A fox saw a crow with a piece of cheese in her beak. She flew over to a tree and perched on a branch. The fox wanted the cheese, so he went over to the tree.

Danish

»Goddag, fru Krage!« råbte han. »Hvor er dine fjer flotte! Du synger sikkert også bedre end alle de andre fugle. Vil du synge for mig? Så kan jeg kalde dig fuglenes dronning.«

English translation

“Good day, Mrs. Crow!” he shouted. “What beautiful feathers you have! I’m sure you sing better than all the other birds, too. Will you sing for me? Then I can call you the queen of the birds.”
