1. 狐狸在树林里找吃的。他来到一棵大树下，看见乌鸦正站在树枝上，嘴里叼着一片肉。狐狸馋得直流口水。
Húli zài shùlín lĭ zhăo chī de. Tā lái dào yì kē dà shù xià, kànjiàn wūyā zhèng zhàn zài shùzhī shang, zuĭlĭ diāo zhe yí piàn ròu. Húli chán de zhí liú kŏushuĭ.
The fox was in the woods looking for food. He came to a tree and saw a crow sitting on a branch with a piece of meat in its mouth. The fox was so greedy that his mouth was watering.

狐狸停下来想，“那只乌鸦有一块美味的肉，我要想个办法得到它。”狐狸开始琢磨着如何拿走乌鸦的肉。  
Húli tíng xià lái xiăng, "nà zhī wūyā yŏu yí kuài měiwèi de ròu, wŏ yào xiăng gè bànfă dédào tā." Húli kāishĭ zuómo zhe rúhé názŏu wūyā de ròu.
He stopped and started to think, "That crow has a piece of delicious meat. I wonder if there is a way I can get it." The fox was thinking of a way to take the meat away from the crow.

2. 他眼珠一转，对乌鸦说：“嗨，我亲爱的乌鸦，您好吗？”乌鸦没有回答。   
Tā yănzhū yí zhuàn, duì wūyā shuō: "Hēi, wŏ qīn'ài de wūyā, nín hăo ma?" Wūyā méiyŏu huídá.
The fox rolled his eyes and said: "Hi, my dear crow, how are you?" The crow did not answer the fox.

狐狸赔着笑脸说：“亲爱的乌鸦，您的孩子好吗？”乌鸦看了狐狸一眼，还是没有回答。     
Húli péizhe xiàoliăn shuō: "Qīn'ài de wūyā, nín de háizi hăo ma?" Wūyā kànle húli yì yăn, háishì méiyŏu huídá.
The fox smiled obsequiously and said again, "My dear crow, how are your children?" The crow glanced at the fox and still did not answer him.

狐狸又摇摇尾巴说：“亲爱的乌鸦，您的羽毛真漂亮，我从来没见过哪只鸟有您这么乌黑发亮的羽毛。您真是美极了。”听到狐狸的赞美，乌鸦耸了耸肩，看着狐狸。    
Húli yòu yáoyáo wěiba shuō: "Qīn'ài de wūyā, nín de yŭmáo zhēn piàoliang, wŏ cónglái méi jiànguò nă zhĭ niăo yŏu nín zhème wūhēi fāliàng de yŭmáo. Nín zhēn shì měi jí le." Tīngdào húli de zànměi, wūyā sŏngle sŏng jiān, kànzhe húli.
The fox shook his tail and talked to the crow again, "Hey, crow, you have such nice feathers. I' ve never seen a bird with such nice shiny black feathers. You are so pretty." The crow shrugged at the praising words and looked at the fox.

3. 当狐狸看到乌鸦有反应时，就继续赞美乌鸦，“既然您有这么漂亮的羽毛，我肯定您的声音是所有鸟中最动听的。”
乌鸦耸耸肩，微笑着。     
Dāng húli kàndào wūyā yŏu fănyìng shí, jiù jìxù zànměi wūyā, "Jìrán nín yŏu zhème piàoliang de yŭmáo, wŏ kěndìng nín de shēngyīn shì suóyŏu niăo zhōng zuì dòngtīng de." Wūyā sŏngsŏng jiān, wēixiàozhe.
When the crow showed the response, the fox continued to praise the crow. "Since you have such great feathers, I am sure you have the most melodious voice of all birds." The crow shrugged and smiled.

“您能用您美妙的声音唱几句吗？” 狐狸用乞求的语气说道。  
"Nín néng yòng nín měimiào de shēngyīn chàng jĭ jù ma?" Húli yòng qĭqiú de yŭqì shuōdào.
"Would you please sing a song with your wonderful voice?" The fox begged the crow.

4.乌鸦听了狐狸的话，非常得意，就唱了起来。“哇……”她刚一开口，肉就掉了下来。狐狸叼起肉，一溜烟跑掉了。
  
Wūyā tīngle húli de huà, fēicháng déyì, jiù chàngle qĭlái. "Wā..." Tā gāng yì kāi kŏu, ròu jiù diàole xiàlái. Húli diāo qĭ ròu, yìliūyān păodiàole.
The crow became proud of itself and began to sing when it heard the fox talk about its wonderful voice. "Wow..." Just when the crow opened its mouth to sing, the meat fell to the ground. The fox picked up the meat and ran away.

乌鸦被狐狸骗了，只能无奈地盯着狐狸消失的方向。  
Wūyā bèi húli piànle, zhĭnéng wúnài de dīngzhe húli xiāoshī de fāngxiàng.
The crow was tricked by the fox and helplessly stared at the fox when it disappeared.
