The Fox and The Crow ¢Ñ ¢¹
One day a crow stole a piece of cheese and sat on a branch of a tree to eat it in peace.
At
that moment a clever fox was passing by. Sniff, sniff.
"What is that
I smell?" he said.
He
stopped under the tree and saw the crow.
"Mmm. I'd like to have a bite
of that cheese," he thought.
The
fox looked up at the crow and said,
"You are a fine crow! What lovely
shinny feathers you have! You a the King of the Birds!"
When the crow heard the praise of the fox, he became proud and happy. The crow flapped his wings triumphantly.
And
the fox went on,
"You must have the most wonderful singing voice. King
of the birds, let me hear a sweet song."
The
crow thought,
"The fox could be right. I am the king of the birds.
I'll let him hear my sweet voice.
The
crow opened his beak and began to sing, "Cra, Cra, Cra!"
Then the
piece of cheese fell through the air. At once the fox ranl to it and ate it
up.
Then
the fox said to the crow,
"Silly crow. That was the worst voice I've
ever heard, but most of all, you're the most stupid bird I've ever met! And
thanks for the cheese."
And he ran off into the woods.
Once upon a time there were Three Bears. Papa Bear, Mama Bear, and Baby Bear.
One day, Mama bear made hot soup for breakfast.
She poured it into three different bowls ¡ª a big bowl, a medium bowl, and a small bowl.
But the soup was too hot. So they walked out into the wood while the soup was cooling.
And while they were walking, a little girl named Goldilocks came to the house. She knocked the door, but there was no answer.
So Goldilocks opened the door and went in.
She saw the three bowls of soup on the table. "I'm so hungry," she said.
So she
tasted the soup in the big bowl.
"This soup is too hot," she said.
And
then she tasted the soup in the medium bowl.
"This soup is too cold,"
she said.
And
then she tasted the soup in the small bowl.
"This soup is just right,"
she said.
She liked it so much that she ate it all.
Then Goldilocks saw the three chairs.
First she sat on the chair of Papa Bear. "This chair is too tall," she said.
And then she sat on the chair of Mama Bear. "This chair is too wide," she said.
And then she sat on the chair of Baby Bear. "This chair is just right," she said.
But the little chair broke and she crashed to the floor.
Goldilocks was so tired that she went upstairs to the bedroom. She found three beds.
First she lay down on the big bed. "This bed is too hard," she said.
And then she lay down on the medium bed. "This bed is too soft," she said.
And then she lay down on the small bed. "This bed is just right," she said. So she lay there till she fell fast asleep.
Soon the Three Bears came home.
"Someone has been eating my soup!" said Papa Bear.
"Someone has been eating my soup too!" said Mama Bear.
"Someone has been eating my soup too! And has eaten it all!" said Baby Bear.
The Three Bears looked around the house and saw their chairs.
"Someone has been sitting on my chair!" said Papa Bear.
"Someone has been sitting on my chair too!" said Mama Bear.
"Someone has been sitting on my chair and it's broken!" cried Baby Bear.
Then the Three Bears went upstairs to their bedroom.
"Someone has been sleeping in my bed!" said Papa Bear.
"Someone has been sleeping in my bed too!" said Mama Bear.
"Someone has been sleeping in my bed too! And here she is still sleeping!" cried Baby Bear.
Goldilocks woke up and saw the Three Bears looking down at her.
She jumped up and ran out of the house as fast as she could. Since then she never walked into a stranger's house again.
