THE BEAR THAT WAS TRICKED BY THE FOX
by
Ion Creanga
Once upon a time, there was a sly fox. She’d been
trying to find food all night and couldn’t get any. At dawn, the
fox came out to the side of the road and lay down under a
bush, thinking of other ways of getting food.
As she was lying there with her head on her front paws,
she smelled fish. She raised her head a little and, looking
down the road, she saw a cart coming her way.
