故事百科分享
a grasshopper sat chirping in the branches of a tree.
a fox hear her, and, thinking what a dainty morsel she would make, he tried to get her down by a trick.
standing below in full view of her, he praised her song in the most flattering terms, and begged her to descend5, saying he would like to make the acquaintance of the owner of so beautiful a voice.
but she was not to be taken in, and replied, "you are very much mistaken, my dear sir, if you imagine i am going to come down: i keep well out of the way of you and your kind ever since the day when i saw numbers of grasshoppers6 wings strewn about the entrance to a fox's earth."
