2a. The Oak and the Reed by Jean de La Fontaine translated by Ma rianne Moore and The Fox and the Crow written by the same person and translated by the same person from The Oak and the Reed rianne Moore

Hey Greta the fox wants the cheese the crow has.

The crow has something the fox desires (a piece of cheese), and all it takes is a bit of flattery to make her forget herself........ and get what he wants.

Basically it goes something like this:

The crow finds a piece of cheese and flys to a branch to eat it. A fox, wanting the cheese for himself, showers the crow with complements. He calls it beautiful and asks if it has a sweet voice as well. The crow lets out a caw, the cheese falls and the fox quickly eats it.

Hey Aslan,

Are you being funny or is that he correct answer above.

No don't worry , I wouldn't joke and mislead you. That basically was the gist of it but I elaborated just in case.

Thank you so very much. Have a great day!
