Aesop’s Fables - Naxos, The Fox and the Crow

The Fox and the Crow

A Fox once saw a Crow fly off with a piece of cheese in its beak and settle on a branch of a tree. ‘That's for me, as I am a Fox,' said Master Reynard, and he walked up to the foot of the tree. ‘Good-day, Mistress Crow,' he cried. ‘How well you are looking to-day: how glossy your feathers; how bright your eye. I feel sure your voice must surpass that of other birds, just as your figure does; let me hear but one song from you that I may greet you as the Queen of Birds.' The Crow lifted up her head and began to caw her best, but the moment she opened her mouth the piece of cheese fell to the ground, only to be snapped up by Master Fox. ‘That will do,' said he. ‘That was all I wanted. In exchange for your cheese I will give you a piece of advice for the future .'Do not trust flatterers.'

A Fox once saw a Crow fly off with a piece of cheese in its beak and settle on a branch of a tree. Ein Fuchs sah einmal, wie eine Krähe mit einem Stück Käse im Schnabel davonflog und sich auf einem Ast eines Baumes niederließ. A Fox once saw a Crow fly off with a piece of cheese in its beak and settle on a branch of a tree. Una vez, un zorro vio volar a un cuervo con un trozo de queso en el pico y posarse en la rama de un árbol. あるキツネが、カラスがチーズのかけらをくちばしにくわえて飛び立ち、木の枝に止まるのを見たことがある。 Tilki bir keresinde bir Karga'nın gagasında bir parça peynirle uçtuğunu ve bir ağacın dalına konduğunu görmüş. ‘That's for me, as I am a Fox,' said Master Reynard, and he walked up to the foot of the tree. Eso es para mí, que soy un zorro -dijo maese Reynard, y se acercó al pie del árbol. ‘Good-day, Mistress Crow,' he cried. Guten Tag, Mistress Crow", rief er. ‘Good-day, Mistress Crow,' he cried. "Buenos días, señora Crow", gritó. ‘How well you are looking to-day: how glossy your feathers; how bright your eye. Wie gut du heute aussiehst: wie glänzend dein Gefieder, wie hell dein Auge. 'Qué buen aspecto tienes hoy: qué lustrosas tus plumas; qué brillantes tus ojos. I feel sure your voice must surpass that of other birds, just as your figure does; let me hear but one song from you that I may greet you as the Queen of Birds.' The Crow lifted up her head and began to caw her best, but the moment she opened her mouth the piece of cheese fell to the ground, only to be snapped up by Master Fox. Ich bin sicher, dass deine Stimme die der anderen Vögel übertrifft, genauso wie deine Gestalt. Lass mich nur ein Lied von dir hören, damit ich dich als Königin der Vögel begrüßen kann. Die Krähe hob den Kopf und begann zu krächzen, aber in dem Moment, in dem sie den Mund öffnete, fiel das Käsestück zu Boden und wurde von Meister Fuchs aufgeschnappt. Estoy seguro de que tu voz supera a la de los demás pájaros, al igual que tu figura; déjame oír un solo canto tuyo para que pueda saludarte como la Reina de los Pájaros". La corneja levantó la cabeza y empezó a graznar lo mejor que podía, pero en cuanto abrió la boca, el trozo de queso cayó al suelo y fue recogido por el señorito Zorro. ‘That will do,' said he. Eso bastará", dijo. ‘That was all I wanted. Das war alles, was ich wollte. 'Eso era todo lo que quería. In exchange for your cheese I will give you a piece of advice for the future .'Do not trust flatterers.' Als Gegenleistung für Ihren Käse gebe ich Ihnen einen Rat für die Zukunft: Trauen Sie Schmeichlern nicht. A cambio de tu queso, te daré un consejo para el futuro: "No confíes en los aduladores".
