Vulpoiul o lingușește pe cioară

The fox flatters the crow

Romanian

Un vulpoi a văzut o cioară care zbura cu o bucată de brânză în cioc. Cioara s-a așezat pe creanga unui copac. Vulpoiul a vrut să ia brânza, așa că s-a dus lângă copac.

English translation

A fox saw a crow flying with a piece of cheese in her beak. The crow landed on a tree branch. The fox wanted to get the cheese, so he went over to the tree.

Romanian

A salutat-o politicos pe cioară și i-a spus că arăta foarte bine. I-a lăudat penele lucioase, apoi a adăugat: — Doamnă Cioară, sunt sigur că vocea dumneavoastră este mai frumoasă decât a celorlalte păsări. Cântați-mi un cântec, ca să vă pot numi Regina Păsărilor!

English translation

He greeted the crow politely and told her she looked very beautiful. He praised her shiny feathers, then added: “Mrs. Crow, I’m sure your voice is more beautiful than that of the other birds. Sing me a song, so I can call you the Queen of the Birds!”
