BR 2-11: The Fox and the Crow

I read “The Fox and the Crow”. This book is one of Aesop’s Fables, a collection of stories first told in Ancient Greece around 4000 years ago. I have read this story in Japanese class, when I was an elementary school student. I’ll talk about the story.

There was a fox and he was always hungry. One day, he saw a crow with some cheese. Fox wanted some cheese, so he grinned at crow and talked to crow. The fox admired the crow’s look and feathers. The crow felt good. The fox asked if the crow could sing. The crow nodded and opened beak and sang. Her some cheese fell down. The fox snapped it up. The crow get angry, but the fox laughed and told her not to always believe people who say nice things, sometimes they just want something from you. The fox left the place.

The most impressive passage in this book for me was when Fox says, “Don’t always believe people who say nice things,” “Sometimes they just want something from you.” (Aesop, 2007, p. 22-23). I usually believe people, but I thought that it's not good to believe the person too much either.
