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[4] out of her mouth?” He sits down[5] belong the branch and looks [6] over 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 [7] 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[8] out of her mouth and[9] down the ground. The fox snaps up the cheese and runs[10] away at top speed!
