However, whatever the fox said to the crow, the crow didn't say anything.

As soon as the meat fell down to the ground, the fox took the meat and went into his hole.

狐狸和乌鸦
有一天，一只乌鸦站在树枝上，嘴里叼着一片肉，心里非常高兴。
这时候，一只狐狸看见了叼着肉的乌鸦，他咽了咽口水，想出一个计划来得到那片肉。
但是，无论狐狸对乌鸦说什么，乌鸦就是不说话。
直到狐狸赞美乌鸦优美的嗓音，乌鸦被奉承得高兴，就张嘴唱起歌来。
肉一掉到地上，狐狸就叼起肉钻回了洞里。
