1. "Вороне как-то Бог послал кусочек сыра..."

Цец, "Хилиады" 10.52, история 352 (О лисе укравшей у вороны сыр):

There is a story by Aesop, of a crow that was eating a cheese.
The fox fonted to take the cheese away from it,
So, it said: "How wise you are, crow!
You're big and beautiful, and have what it takes
(760) To be king of all the beards,
But all you lack is one song in order to become king".
The crow answered this flattery
By opening his beak, and leaving the cheese.
So the fox got the cheese by devious tricks,
And left the crow to bag and craw.
