00:00The Fox and the Cicada
00:01One sunny day, a hungry fox was walking in the forest.
00:07He heard a cicada singing loudly in the tree.
00:11The fox looked up and saw the cicada.
00:15He thought, what a delicious meal it would be!
00:19The fox tried to be friendly.
00:22He said to the cicada,
00:24Dear cicada, your singing is so beautiful.
00:29Won't you come down and sing for me closer?
00:35But the cicada was very clever.
00:38It knew the fox might have bad ideas.
00:41So it answered,
00:43Thank you, Mr. Fox, but I'm quite happy here in the tree.
00:47The fox didn't give up.
00:49He said, there are many nice flowers under the tree.
00:53You can come down and enjoy them with me.
00:56The cicada smiled and said,
00:59I can see the flowers from here.
01:02They are really lovely.
01:04But I'd better stay in the tree.
01:07The fox shouted,
01:09You stupid cicada!
01:11You don't know what you're missing!
01:13The cicada laughed and said,
01:16Mr. Fox, I know you're tricking me.
01:21You just want to eat me.
01:22The fox got angry.
01:25He started jumping up to catch the cicada.
01:29But the tree was too tall.
01:32At last, the tired fox had to leave.
01:36The story tells us we should always be careful
01:40and not be fooled by sweet words.
01:43Okay, so we'll talk to him.
01:44So we'll talk to him.
02:08Good.
