THE CROW AND THE FOX
LU CUORVE E LA ÒLEPE
   
One day a crow was standing on a tree holding a piece of cheese in his mouth.
Nu cuorve stave sobbre a na cerche e tineve nu piezze di casce 'nmocche.
   
A fox came by and when she saw him she said: "What beautiful shining feathers you have! You are really handsome, if you can also sing you are certainly the most beautiful bird in the world."
Passette na òlepe e cuanna lu vidette dicette: "Chi belle penne lucente tié, si proprie bielle, si tu può cantá pur, sicure tu si lu chiú bielle cielle di lu munne."
   
The crow heard himself being praised, when he opened the mouth to sing the cheese fell on the ground. Lu cuorve zi sintette avantà, aprette la vocche pi cantá e zi ni caschette lu casce!
   
The fox grabbed the cheese and went away. La olepe z'acchiappette lu casce e zi ni jette.
