93. The Fox And The Crow

A Crow having stolen a bit of flesh, perc
hed in tree, and held it in her beak. A Fox seeing her, longed to possess himself of the flesh, and by a wily stratagem succeeded. "How handsome is the Crow," he exclaimed, " in the beauty of her shape and in the fairn
ess of her complexion! Oh, if her voice were only equal to her beauty, she would deservedly be considered the Queen of Birds!" This he said deceitfully; but the Crow, anxious to refute the reflection cast upon her voic
e, set up a loud caw, and dropped the flesh. The Fox quickly picked it up, and thus addressed the Crow: "My good Crow, your voice is right enough, but your wit is wanting."
93. 狐狸和乌鸦
一只乌鸦偷到一块肉,高高栖息在树上,它的嘴里衔着肉。 一只狐狸看见它很想将那块肉骗来,于是使用一个诡计,果然达到目的。 他这样喊道:「这只乌鸦,形态美丽,面貌可爱! 哦,只要她的声音也和她的美貌相称,她真配得上做鸟中之后了!」 他如此说谎。但那乌鸦却急于要表示自己声音的美好,便大喊一声,于是肉就掉下去, 狐狸很快地将它捡起来,向乌鸦说:「亲爱的乌鸦,你的声音很不错,可是你的聪明却不行呢。」
