Fox. [To himself.] That cheese is for me, as sure as I am a fox.
[Goes to the tree.]
Good day, Mistress Crow.
How well you are looking.
What bright eyes you have.
I am sure your voice must be sweet.
Just let me hear you sing one song.
[Crow lifts her head.]
Crow. Caw—caw—caw.
Fox. [Snaps up cheese.] That bit of cheese was all I wanted.
