Ex. 13

A crafty fox is walking trough the forest when he sees a crow flying over him. The crow flies on a branch of a tree and the fox walks towards the tree. He notices that she has a nice piece of cheese in her beak. “Hmm…” thinks the fox. “How can I get that piece of cheese out her mouth?”. He sits down the branch and looks up at the crow.

“What a beautiful bird I see in the tree” says the fox, “What beautiful feathers! I am sure her voice is beautiful too”.

The crow looks down at the fox and she is so happy that she opens her beak to sing for the fox.

“Caw! Caw!” she cries, and the cheese drops out her mouth and on the ground.

The fox snaps up the cheese and run away at top speed.
