The fox and the bird

One day, a fox saw a bird sitting on the branch of a tree. In its mounth the bird had some food. The fox wanted this food because he was very hungry.

"You're a beautiful bird," the fox said, "But can you sing?"

"Of course I can sing," thought the bird, "this is a very stupid fox." He opened his mounth to sing and dropped the food. The fox 

caught the food and said, "Yes you can sing, and you're very beautiful, but you're not very smart." And the fox ran away with the food.
