Scene 1 · Beginner
Um dia, uma raposa viu uma corva voando com um pedaço de queijo no bico. A corva pousou no galho de uma árvore. A raposa queria aquele queijo e foi até o pé da árvore.
One day, a fox saw a crow flying with a piece of cheese in her beak. The crow landed on a tree branch. The fox wanted that cheese and went to the base of the tree.
— Bom dia, dona Corva! Como a senhora está bonita hoje! Suas penas brilham! — disse a raposa.
“Good morning, Mrs. Crow! You look so beautiful today! Your feathers shine!” said the fox.
A raposa continuou a fazer elogios para conseguir o queijo: — Sua voz deve ser mais bonita que a das outras aves. Cante uma canção para mim. Assim, vou poder chamar a senhora de Rainha das Aves.
The fox continued flattering her to get the cheese: “Your voice must be more beautiful than that of the other birds. Sing a song for me. That way, I’ll be able to call you the Queen of the Birds.”
