Questions 18-23 are based on the following text.
Should Americans be Forced to Use Public Transportation?
by Jack Davis

First, let me define what the question is and isn’t asking. It isn’t asking if we should we all abandon cars right now, nor is it asking if we should abandon them completely, nor is it asking if every American should do so. It is asking whether some Americans should have to take public transit some of the time, and I would say yes.
Oil use and pollution aside, in some cities like Los Angeles and New York there just isn’t room for any more roads, so in order for large cities to grow, they need more people to take public transit or risk permanent traffic jam. One bus can safely hold 40 people, so even at half capacity that’s nearly 20 cars’ worth of space in traffic cleared up, and nearly 20 parking spaces that don’t need to be built.
There are a lot of people that can take public transit with little inconvenience but simply don’t because they never have in the past. If residents in areas with plenty of transit had to buy transit passes as part of their property taxes then they would have little excuse not to bus occasionally. A number of universities already bundle a ‘U-Pass’ with their tuition fees, forcing their students to take the bus. When given the chance the majority of those students have voted to keep these programs.
A similar system in apartments where a portion of the tenants are not issued parking
spaces in exchange for a discount on their rent would also be forcing people to use public
transit. This is already being done with the assignment of one community car to several
apartment tenants that arrange a schedule for the car, and this program gets many positive
reviews.
So yes, I would say that Americans should be forced to use public transit, as Americans whom are already forced to do so find that it works well for them.

Questions 24-30 are based on the following text.
The Jackal who Saved the Lion
Once upon a time, there lived a lion in a forest. One day, when he went to drink water in
a river, one of his feet got stuck into the damp mushy mud of the river. He tried a lot to get out
of the mud, but didn’t achieve. He had to lie without food for days because he didn’t find any
help. On one fortunate day, a kind jackal came to drink water from the river. When he saw
the lion, he went closer to the lion and said, “What is the matter? Why are you resting here?”
The lion narrated him the pathetic story. The Jackal instantly made a way out from the sand but the lion was unable to move his feet. As he was set in the same posture for last several days, his body became stiff. The jackal understood the condition of the lion and helped him to get out of the mud with an extra effort. The Lion was really thankful to jackal for his kind help. He was very happy to get free after so many days.
The Lion appreciated the effort made by the jackal. He offered the jackal to live close to him and also promised to give food to him whenever he caught food. The jackal accepted the offer and started living with the lion. Thus, they lived happily sharing the food. With the passing time, they expanded their families. The lion had cubs and the jackal had kid jackals. Both, the lion and the jackal were passing their days happily. They didn’t have any idea that their friendship was not liked by their families.
One day after a long time, the lioness, lady of the lion’s house, told her cubs that she didn’t like the amity between the jackal and her husband. The cubs passed the message to the kid jackals. The kids complained the matter to the lady jackal. The lady jackal passed the complaint to her husband.
The jackal went to the Lion and asked,” I helped you without any thought in return. You had asked me to live with you, so I started living with you. Now, if you don’t want me to live with you, you should have told me yourself. What did you involve your wife and cubs to convey this? “. The Lion was shocked to hear such words. He said, “My dear friend, what are you saying? I don’t find any problem with you or your friendship”. He assured the jackal that he had no such ill-feelings for the friendship between them.
The Lion also assured that he would talk to the lioness and solve the whole matter. The
jackal was intelligent and understood the situation. He said to the lion, “Dear friend, I know
you are sincere, but our families could not exactly respond the same level of friendship. So, let us stay apart and meet often as friends. We could also hunt together. It would be better, if our families stay apart”. The Lion agreed to the proposal with a heavy heart.
The two families parted from each other as friends. The Jackal and the Lion continued to share the friendship. They often met each other and hunt together. Thus, the two friends shared a healthy friendship throughout their life.

There is a large basketball field in the middle. Two toilets, one for males and the other for females. And of course, it has 3 laboratories for chemistry, biology, and physics. The school building consists of two-stair-classroom, upper classrooms and lower classrooms. The canteen is the students’ most favorite place. That’s all about my school.

Uhm…Singapore is a beautiful city with lots of parks and open spaces. It is also a very clean city. You know, the business district is very modern, with lots of tall and new buildings.
Now, let me tell you about the old section of the city. In Chinatown, there are rows of old shop houses. The government buildings in Singapore are also very unique and antique. They date from the British colonial days.
Shopping! Wow, this is the part that I like very much! Singapore is famous for its many good shopping centers. Most of the goods are duty free. It’s a heaven for shoppers!
What about food? Uhmm ..yummy..yummy. It’s delicious. Singapore’s restaurants provide Chinese, Indian, Malay, and European food, and the prices are quite reasonable. I bet you’ll like it.
Well, since Singapore lies near the equatorial line, of course, it has a tropical climate, with a nice weather in both dry and rainy season.

Are you still with me? OK, thank you. Let’s continue. London’s climate is generally mild and damp although it can be erratic. London is one of the driest parts of Britain. However, the weather is generally cloudy, and sometimes it rains on half the days of the year.

Now let me tell you about the city. London’s metropolitan area extends for more than 30 miles. Most of Central London is located north of the Thames.

ASKING FOR AND SHOWING ATTENTION

The Legend of Minos, King of Crete
Once upon a time there lived a very famous king, named the King of Crete. He had a stepson which was half bull and half man. He ordered Daedalus, a craftsman from Athens, to build a labyrinth in order to house the monster. When Daedalus finished his work, he wanted to leave Crete. But the king would not let him go.
Daedalus finally escaped through the air by using wings fixed to his body with wax. He also made wings for his son, Icarus and made him fly behind himself. But the son was so glad and excited that he soon went too high. As he flew nearer to the sun, it got warmer and warmer until at last the wax melted and his body fell down into the sea near Troy. The sea is now called the Icarian Sea.

The little fly flew down and buzzed around the bull’s head. The bull did not bother him. He went on chewing grass.
The fly then buzzed right inside the bull’s ear. The bull continued chewing grass. The fly thought, “What a stupid animal!”
Now, the fly decided to land on the bull’s horns to make the bull notice him. He waited for the bull to say something but the bull kept quiet.
The fly then shouted angrily, “Oh, Bull, if you find that I am too heavy for you, let me know and I’ll fly away!”.
The bull laughed and said, “Little fly, I don’t care if you stay or leave. You are so tiny and that your weight does not make any difference to me, so please be quiet and leave me alone. ”


Part C. Second Challenge. Does a fable always talk about animals? Listen to Mike, telling the story of ‘the Silver Key’. While listening, fill in the blank spaces with the words you hear.

The Silver Key

There was a traveler going to a distant town. When he reached the town it was almost midnight. He came to an inn but it locked from the inside. He knocked at the door. “Who are you?” asked a voice from inside the inn. “What do you want? The door cannot be unlocked at such an odd hour”. The traveler needed rest, food and shelter. He said, “Please, innkeeper, unlock the door. See, how cold outside!”

“It’s a strange lock and can be opened only with a silver key,” replied the innkeeper. The traveler passed a silver coin through a slit in the door, got the door unlocked and entered into the inn.
“I have left one of my two bags outside,” said the traveler. “Will you please bring it in?”
No sooner had the innkeeper gone out than traveler locked the door from inside. The greedy innkeeper was now shut out. He requested the traveler to unlock the door. “I’m helpless,” replied the traveler. “It’s a strange lock. It can be opened only with a silver key. The innkeeper was obliged to push through the slit a silver coin. The traveler got back his rupee and unlocked the door.

GREATING AND LEAVE TAKING

An Excursion to Bogor Botanic Garden

All right, everybody, I’ll tell you about this great place.
On Friday 16 March we went to Bogor Botanic Garden. We went there by bus and we arrived at that famous garden at 10 o’clock
Arriving at the garden, we were divided into two groups. Group A followed Mrs. Nina and Group B followed Mr. Ahmad. I was in group A. Well, first we went to the odd tropical plants and Mrs. Nina read us some of the information. Then, we looked at all the lovely plants. After that, we went to a little spot near the Raffles cemetery and had morning tea. Next, we did some sketching and then we met group B at the information center to have our lunch.
Soon, it was time for us to go to the orchid section while Group B did some research on flowers. Uhm…A lady led us to the orchid section. Then, she explained about many kinds of orchid.
Next, we had a look at the Indonesian orchid. Wow, we saw many kinds of Indonesian orchids. They were all beautiful. Later, we took a look at the American, European and Asian orchid’s section. It was interesting. Soon after we had finished our observations, we went back outside and met group B. Then, we got on the bus and returned to school. We really enjoyed the trip to Bogor Botanic Garden.

Expect, Hope and Wait

Expecting is rational. When you expect something to happen, you have a good reason to believe that it will happen. Hoping, on the other hand, is emotional. When you hope for something to happen, you would like it to happen, but you don’t know whether it will.
Compare:
She is expecting a baby. (= She is pregnant now.)
She is hoping that it will be a girl. (She doesn’t know whether it will be a girl.)
Notes
We can expect good or bad things to happen, but we only hope for good things.
.Expect and wait
Wait does not mean the same as expect. You wait when somebody or something is late or when you are early for something.
Compare:
I expected her at eleven, but she didn’t come.
I waited for her till twelve, and then went home.
Grammar
Hope and wait take the preposition for before a direct object. Expect is used without the preposition.
I am expecting a phone call from Peter. (NOT I am expecting for a phone call from Peter.)
I am hoping for a raise. (NOT I am hoping a raise.)
I am waiting for John. (NOT I am waiting John.)
All three verbs can be followed by an infinitive.
I am expecting to hear from her.
I am hoping to hear from her.
I am waiting to hear from her.
Expect and hope can be followed by a that-clause.
I expect that he will arrive soon.
I hope that he will come up with some new ideas.
Wait cannot be followed by a that-clause.
Hope can be followed by a present tense with a future meaning.
I hope she doesn’t miss the train. (= I hope that she will not miss the train.)
.

What can follow a verb?

What can follow a verb?
Different verbs can be followed by different kinds of word or structure. This is partly a matter of meaning. It is also partly a matter of grammatical rules. There are no simple rules. It is, therefore, necessary to learn what kind of structures can follow each verb.
Verb + object
Some verbs require an object after them. In grammars these are called transitive verbs. Examples are: break, invite, surprise, buy, give, take etc.
He broke the window.
Let’s us invite them.
She surprised me.
Some verbs are not normally followed by direct objects. These are called intransitive verbs. Examples are: sit and sleep.
Please sit down.
I don’t sleep well.
Many verbs can be both transitive and intransitive.
Compare:
The water boils. (Intransitive)
Boil the water. (Transitive)
India lost. (Intransitive)
India lost the match. (Transitive)
Ergative verbs
Some verbs are used transitively and intransitively with different kinds of subject. The intransitive use usually has a passive meaning. In grammars these verbs are called ‘ergative’.
We are selling a lot of copies of this book.
This book is selling well.
She opened the door.
The door opened.
Verbs with prepositions and particles
Some verbs require prepositions before their objects. Examples are: look, listen, talk etc.
Why is she looking at me like that? (NOT Why is she looking me like that?)
Listen to this. (NOT Listen this.)
We talked about his plans. (NOT We talked his plans.)
Some verbs are used with adverb particles, not prepositions.
It is time to get up.
Notes
A preposition is usually necessary before an expression of place.
We arrived at the station at 9.30. (NOT We arrived the station at 9.30.)
Don’t walk on the grass. (NOT Don’t walk the grass.)
A few verbs do not require a preposition before an expression of place.
I like climbing mountains. (NOT I like climbing on mountains.)
Some verbs are followed not by an object, but by a subject complement. These are called copular verbs.
He is a genius.
That looks beautiful.
I felt an idiot.
Verb + verb structures
Many verbs can be followed by forms of other verbs. Some verbs can be followed by infinitives (with or without to), some by -ing forms, some by past participles and some by clauses. Many verbs can be followed by two or more of these structures. It is necessary to know which structures are possible after each verb.
I enjoy swimming in the sea. (NOT I enjoy to swim in the sea.)
I hope to see him soon.
You seem to have upset her. (NOT You seem having upset her.)
Common verbs that can be followed by infinitives include the following:
afford, agree, appear, arrange, ask, attempt, beg, begin, care, choose, consent, continue, dare, decide, expect, fail, forget, go on, happen, hate, help, hesitate, hope, intend, learn, like, love, manage, mean, neglect, offer, prefer, prepare, pretend, promise, propose, refuse, regret, remember, seem, start, trouble, try, want, wish

Common verbs that can be followed by an -ing form are:
admit, appreciate, avoid, consider, contemplate, delay, deny, detest, dislike, endure, enjoy, escape, excuse, face, fancy, finish, forgive, imagine, involve, mention, mind, miss, postpone, practise, put off, resent, resist, risk, stand, suggest, understand
Mother suggested consulting a doctor. (NOT Mother suggested to consult a doctor.)
I enjoy singing. (NOT I enjoy to sing.)
She has finished writing that novel.

What you should know !

What you should know !

1. See is used when we just want to say that visual impressions come to our eyes. Seeing is not always deliberate – it may be accidental; you can see things without thingking about them, and even without realizing that you are seeing them.
• I suddenly saw a spider on the celling
• I waves at my father, but he didn’t even see me

2. Look (at) suggest consentration, intention : if we look, we are paying attention or trying to see what is there.
• I looked but could see nothing
• He looked at her with his eyes full of love
• Look carefully at this – think it’s important

3. Watch is like look (at), but suggest that something is happening, or going to happen. We watch things that change, move, or develop.
• Watch that man – I want to know everything he does
• I usually spend Saturday afternoon watching a football match

4. Note that although we say watch TV, we usually use see to talk about public performances of plays and films.

• Compare :
• Did you watch “Friends” last night?
• (A TV serial)
• Have you seen ‘Eiffel, I’m in love’
• (A Film)

GECKO’S COMPLAINT

One night a village Chief was awakened out of a deep sleep by five calls of “Geck-o, Geck-o, Geck-o, Geck-o, Geck-o.” It was, of course, Gecko, the Lizard, and he wanted to see the Chief, a wise and kind man, who received him with pleasure, even though it was the middle of the night.Gecko had come to lodge a complaint. He was very disturbed and unhappy, he said. To the rest of God’s creatures, it might have seemed that Gecko ought to have no reason at all to complain. He could do so many things that other creatures could not, such as walk on the wall, or upside down on the ceiling. He could do this because he had little pads on the tip of each of his toes. Not only that, if his tail should be lost in a battle with another lizard, he would be able to grow another one, just as good as, if not better than, the old one. His smaller cousin, Cicak, was much more active and mobile, darting across the wall as he chased his mate, sometimes stopping for a short climb up a sideboard to sample some sweet or other, while Gecko expended a minimum of energy, sitting lazily up in the rafters, going out at night in search of mosquitoes, filling the night with his raucous calls. What would Gecko ever have to complain about?
But now Gecko was upset. For several weeks he had not been able to sleep because of Firefly. Night after night the black lightning beetle with red and yellow spots flew around and about him, glowing like sparks of fire, flashing his light into Gecko’s eyes.
The Chief, who really did not like his sleep to be disturbed either, was sympathetic, and promised to make an investigation. He asked Gecko to come back to see him in a week or so.
The next day the Chief called Firefly and told him about Gecko’ complaint. “Is it only Gecko you are disturbing?” he asked, “or is it possible that others are also bothered by your light flashing into their eyes?” Gecko Had Come to Lodge a Complaint.
Firefly’ light was out now, as he spoke very humbly to the Chief. “I meant no harm, sir. In fact, I thought I was doing something good. I heard the drumming of Woodpecker as he struck his bill on the tree trunk, and I thought it was a kulkul calling villagers to get up and gather. I was only flashing my light to pass on the message.
” The Chief then decided to ask Woodpecker about this. He found him and told him what Firefly had said.“
I too was only passing on a warning, sir,” said Woodpecker. “I heard the kwak-kwak-kwak of Frog in the rice paddies, and I thought it was a warning that an earthquake was coming. So I just passed on the message.”
Now the chief went in search of Frog, who meanwhile had heard that he would be interrogated. “The reason I was kwak-kwak-kwaking more and louder than usual,” he explained, “is that I saw Black Beetle walking down the road carrying filth, which I thought was so dirty and so unhygienic that I had to stop him.”
“That is indeed bad,” thought the Chief. “I must speak to Beetle at once.”
Black Beetle, plump and gleaming like polished copper, was also very humble and respectful, as he explained the situation.
“You see, sir, Water Buffalo comes by dropping his pat in the middle of the road, and I just thought it was my duty to clean it up.” The Chief was now beginning to lose patience. “Tell Water Buffalo I wish to see him!” he ordered.
When Water Buffalo appeared, he was polite, but he expressed his displeasure with Beetle’s report.
“It is clear,” he said, “that I am not appreciated. Rain washes away all the stones in the road, and I fill up the holes. Who else does that, I ask you?”
By this time the Village Chief was tired, but he had to hear Rain’s story. And Rain was angry. “Complaining about ME?” he asked. “Who asks the gods for Rain, even makes offerings to them so they will send Rain? Without ME there are no mosquitoes, and if there are no mosquitoes, Gecko is hungry and unhappy. Don’t speak to me. Speak to Gecko!” When Gecko returned to the home of the Chief as he had been requested to do, the Chief spoke to him very sternly indeed.
“Gecko, say no more. We all have our problems. Go home, and live at peace with all your neighbors!”
Adapted from Alibasah, 1999.

SNOW WHITE

Once upon a time there lived a little girl named Snow White. She lived with her Aunt and Uncle because her parents were dead.
One day she heard her Uncle and Aunt talking about leaving Snow White in the castle because they both wanted to go to America and they didn't have enough money to take Snow White.
Snow White did not want her Uncle and Aunt to do this so she decided it would be best if she ran away. The next morning she ran away from home when her Aunt and Uncle were having breakfast. She ran away into the woods.
She was very tired and hungry. Then she saw this little cottage. She knocked but no one answered so she went inside and fell a sleep.
Meanwhile, the seven dwarfs were coming home from work. They went inside. There they found Snow White sleeping. Then Snow White woke up. She saw the dwarfs. The dwarfs said, `What is your name?' Snow White said, `My name is Snow White.'

Doc said, `If you wish, you may live here with us'. Snow White said,' Oh could I? Thank you. Then Snow White told the dwarfs the whole story and Snow White and the 7 dwarfs lived happily ever after.

THE FLY AND THE BULL

There was once a little fly that thought he was very important. One sunny morning, he flew around looking for someone to talk to. He saw a bull grazing in a field. He decided to fly down to talk to him
The little fly flew down and buzzed around the bull's head. The bull did not bother you with him. He went on chewing grass.
Now the fly decided to land on one of the bull's horns to make to make the bull notice him. He waited for the bull to say something, but the bull kept quite.
The fly then shouted angrily, "Oh bull, if you find that 1 am too heavy for you, let me know and I'll fly away!"
The bull laughed and said, "little fly, I don't care if you stay or leave. You arc so tiny that your weight does not make any difference to me, so please be quite and leave me alone.

The Lion and Mouse

The Lion and the Mouse
One day a lion slept in the jungle. A tiny mouse ran over the Lion's head and down his nose. The Lion awoke with a loud roar. He was very angry. His paw caught the little Mouse.
The Lion opened his huge jaws to swallow the Mouse.
“Pardon me, O King, I beg of you, “cried the frightened Mouse.
“If you forgive me this time, I will never forget your kindness. I meant no harm and I certainly didn’t want to disturb Your Majesty. If you let me stay alive, I can do you a good turn, too.”
The lion began to laugh. He laughed and laughed.
“How could a tiny creature like you ever do anything to help me?” And he shook with laughter.
“Oh well,” he shrugged, looking down at the frightened Mouse, "you're not so much of a meal anyway."
Then, he released his paw from the Mouse and the Mouse quickly ran away.
Some time after this, some hunters, tried to capture the Lion alive. They set up rope nets in the jungle. The Lion fell into the trap. He roared and thrashed.
His thunderous bellows sent through the jungle. The tiny Mouse heard the Lion's roars.
"That may be the Lion who once freed me," he said, remembering his promise. And he ran to see whether he could help.
Discovering the sad Lion, the Mouse said to him, "Stop, stop! You must not roar. If you make so much noise, the hunters will come and capture you. I'll get you out of this trap."
With his sharp little teeth, the Mouse gnawed at the ropes until they broke. The Lion stepped out of the net and was free. The mouse said, "Now, was I not right?"
"Thank you, good Mouse," said the Lion gently. "You did help me. I see now that kindness is always worth while.

CRIME IN THE CITY

Crime is a serious problem in big cities and it is getting worse every years. This is what police departments around the country said in their reports last week. The subways are more dangerous. The streets are more dangerous. You may not event be safe in your own home.
Why is the problem so serious now? This is not an easy question to answer. There may not be a single answer. Many problems seem to make cities so dangerous.
One of the problems is money. To fight crime, a city needs police officers cars and guns. These cost a lot of money but right now cities do not have much extra money. So, there not enough police officers, cars and guns for cities.
Another problem is drugs. Crime studies show that many criminals use and sell drugs. After they star taking drugs, they want to have more. However, drugs are very expensive. So, these people may sell drugs to other people to make money or they may steal money to get more drugs.
There is an even more important cause of crime. Cities have rich and poor neighborhoods. In the poor neighborhoods, jobs are hard to find. Many young people don't have much hope for a better life. They only know one way to make a better living for them selves. That way is to sell drugs or steal. So, some of these young people become criminals.
It is not going to be easy to change these crime problems. We must first change many of the law about drugs. We must change the way cities spend their money. Until then, the crime problem will not go away and we will live in fear.

Penilaian Autentik dalam CTL

Penilaian Autentik dalam Contextual Teaching and Learning
Penilaian Autentik mempunyai beberapa jenis, dan pada umumnya para pendidik mengenali empat jenis penilaian autentik: potofolio, pengukuran kinerja, proyek, dan jawaban tertulis secara lengkap. Secara garis besar, dari keempat jenis penilaian autentik tersebut mempunyai karakteristik lima karakteristik dasar.

5 Karakteristik Dasar Penilaian Autentik
5 karakteristik dasar penilaian autentik adalah karakter dasar dalam melakukan penilaian secara autentik sebagai bentuk akhir dari metode pembelajaran CTL.
1. Penilaian dilakukan selama dan sesudah proses pembelajaran berlangsung
2. Aspek yang diukur adalah keterampilan dan performasi, bukan mengingat fakta apakah peserta didik belajar? Atau apa yang sudah diketahui peserta didik?
3. Penilaian dilakukan secara berkelanjutan, yaitu dilakukan dalam beberapa tahapan dan periodik, sesuai dengan tahapan waktu dan bahasanya, baik dalam bentuk formatif maupun sumatif.
4. Penilaian dilakukan secara integral, yaitu menilai berbagai aspek pengetahuan, sikap, dan keterampilan peserta didik sebagai satu kesatuan utuh.
5. Hasil penilain digunakan sebagai feedback, yaitu untuk keperluan pengayaan (enrichment) standart minimal telah tercapai atau mengulang (remedial) jika standart minimal belum tercapai.
Tentang cara Bagaimana Melakukan Penilaian Dalam CTL serta apa keuntungan penilaian autentik ? sebagaimana telah disebut dalam posting sebelumnya, tidaklah sama dengan penilaian umum yang hanya dilakukan pada akhir pemberian materi, hal ini lebih-lebih dikarenakan kurangnya nilai pengukuran yang bisa digambarkan oleh penilaian umum. Penilaian umum hanya bisa memberikan informasi mengenai hasil belajar siswa dan tidak bisa menganalisis proses belajar siswa. Banyaknya variable dalam penilaian autentik juga memungkinkan penilaian autentik bisa memberikan gambaran kemampuan siswa secara komprehensip baik dari hasil belajar, proses belajar, maupun hal-hal lain yang dibutuhkan sekolah, seperti keterampilan siswa dan aktivitas siswa.
Dalam melakukan penilaian autentik, 5 hal dasar di atas dapat dijadikan sebagai acuan umum, untuk membantu membuat model penilaian berbasis CTL, karena penilaian autentik memang berasal dari metode pembelajaran CTL.

THE FOX AND THE CROW

Once upon time a fox was returning to his den. He was very hungry and could find nothing to eat. Near the forest where he lived there was a village. In the village lived a butcher. I must go to the butcher house and see if I can steal meat from there, “he thought. As he was nearing the village he saw a crow on the branch of a tree. The crow was holding a big piece of meat in her beak.

“I must have the piece of meat, “the fox said to himself. “I must find a way to get it. It’s not for nothing that people call me the sly fox.”
Then he went over to the tree and said, “Good morning Miss crow. How pretty you look today. You are the most beautiful bird I have ever seen. And people say that no other bird can sing more sweetly than you. Would you please sing for me?”
The crow was very pleased to hear all the nice things which the fox said about her. “I’ll be glad to sing a little song for you, “she said. She opened her beak and began so sing as loudly as he could. The piece of meat fell to the ground, and the fox ate it up.
“Thank you for the song and the meal, the fox said. “That was very tender meat indeed.”
The crow soon realized that the fox was only flattering her. “I will never trust a flattering again.” She said sadly himself.
