Then answer each question.  \nThe Fox and the Crow  \nOne of Aesop’s Fables  \nOne bright, sunny morning Fox trotted through the forest looking for his breakfast. His stomach grumbled as he darted under bushes and around trees, but he could not find anything to eat.  \n“I will surely go hungry today,” Fox sighed. He lay down tomope about his bad luck.  \nAfter a while, Fox got up and kept walking through the forest. He looked under each bush. He looked around each tree. He still could not find anything to eat.  \nA flapping sound caught Fox’s attention. He stopped and looked up. Crow sat on the lowest branch of a tree. Now, Fox had seen a lot of crows. It was nothing new. However,  \nthis crow had a large piece of cheese in her mouth.  \n“Ah-ha!” Fox thought. “There is something I can eat for breakfast.”  \nCrow watched Fox circle the tree. She backed up toward the tree trunk.  \n“Good morning, Miss Crow,” Fox called.  \nCrow did not answer. She kept her beak locked on the piece of cheese.  \n“Oh, what a beautiful bird you are,” Fox said. “Your feathers shine almost blue in the sunlight.”  \nCrow cocked her head to the side and fluffed her feathers. She did not answer.  \n“Oh, what a wonderful beak you have,” Fox said. “What big wings. I bet you have a lovely singing voice. I wish I could hear just one song. I would call you “Queen of All Birds” if you would sing for me.”  \nFox’s flattering words made Crow forget tobe suspicious. She also forgot about the cheese in her beak. She very  \nmuch wanted to be called the Queen of all Birds.  \n“Caw!” Crow sang.  \nThe cheese fell from her beak and tumbled down into Fox’s mouth. He gobbled it up and smiled.  \n“Thank you, Miss Crow,” he said. “You do have a voice, but it is cracked.” Fox looked up and smiled again. “You are too easily fooled by flattering words.”  \nCrow watched Fox trot away. She closed her eyes and  \nsighed. She would have to find something else for breakfast.  \nQuestions:  \n1. What was Fox looking for in the forest?  \na. Fox was on an Easter egg hunt.  \nb.
