The Fox and the crow
One day, a fox saw a crow sitting in a tree. The crow had a piece of cheese in her beak, and she sat in the tree to eat it. The fox thought, I want that cheese, and then hr thought of way to get it.
The fox walked to the foot of the tree and said, Hello, Miss Crow. You look beautiful today.
Ready? thought the crow while she looked down at the fox.
The fox said, Your feathers are so colorful and your eyes are so bright. But birds are not only beautiful to look at. They are also beautiful to listen to.
Miss Crow , your voice is more beautiful than any other birds, the fox said. Please sing for me, and I will call you the Queen of birds.
The crow smiled and lifted her head. She began to sing, but when she opened her beak, the cheese dropped to the ground.
The fox quickly ate it. Your voice is wonderful, he said, but you are not very smart. You gave me your cheese, so I will give you some advice: never trust anyone who flatters you.

Language Notes
Queen of birds 鳥中之后
解析
Queen 是皇后;女王的意思，常用來形容某位女性或雌雄動物是(某范圍)中最棒的，常用句型如下：
is + queen + of + 復數名詞 (某人、物)是中之后
Margot is Queen of Card Games. She always wins when we play.
瑪格是牌后，我們玩牌時她總是贏家。
小叮嚀
1. of后面的名詞要用復數，才是表達在一群人里面比較的感覺。
2. 如果要形容的對象是男性或雌雄動物，只要把queen換成king就可以了，夠簡單吧!
