One day, the Fox sees a Crow flying with a piece of cheese in her beak. The Crow lands on a tree branch. The Fox wants the cheese, so he approaches the tree and begins complimenting the Crow.
«Buongiorno, signora Corvo. Che belle piume ha! Sono sicuro che anche la sua voce è più bella di quella degli altri uccelli. Mi faccia sentire una canzone, così potrò chiamarla regina degli uccelli».
“Good morning, Mrs. Crow. What beautiful feathers you have! I’m sure your voice is even more beautiful than the other birds’. Sing me a song, so I can call you the queen of the birds.”
