　　正文：

　　A grasshopper sat chirping in the branches of a tree.

　　A fox hear her, and, thinking what a dainty morsel she would make, he tried to get her down by a trick.

　　Standing below in full view of her, he praised her song in the most flattering terms, and begged her to descend5, saying he would like to make the acquaintance of the owner of so beautiful a voice.

　　But she was not to be taken in, and replied, "You are very much mistaken, my dear sir, if you imagine I am going to come down: I keep well out of the way of you and your kind ever since the day when I saw numbers of grasshoppers6 wings strewn about the entrance to a fox's earth."

　　翻译：

　　一只蚱蜢坐在树枝上叽叽喳喳地叫。

　　一只狐狸听见她说话，心里想着她会做出多么美味的一点东西，就想用一个诡计把她弄下来。

　　他站在下面，全神贯注地看着她，用 恭维的口吻称赞了她的歌，并求她降5级，说他想结识这么美的一个声音的主人。

　　但她没有被收留，回答说：“亲爱的先生，如果你以为我要下来，你就大错特错了。自从我看见成群结队的蚱蜢在狐狸的地上撒满翅膀的那一天起，我就一直躲在你和你同类的路上。”
