He said to the crow, “Kaka,

                                                                         I have heard you sing many

                                                                         times. You have a sweet voice.

                                                                         Can you sing a song for me

                                                                         now?” Kaka was very pleased

                                                                         to hear this. He held the

                                                                         piece of bread between his

                                                                         claws and opened his mouth

                                                                         to sing. “Ka...Ka...Ka...Ka...,”

          he sang a tune. The fox was

          unhappy to see this. He said,

          “Kaka, you sing very well. Can

          you now dance for me?” Kaka

          did not know how to dance.
          But he wanted to please the

          fox.  So  he  put  the  piece  of

          bread in his beak and moved

          his legs up and down. The fox

          was not happy to see this. “I must make him drop the piece of bread,” he

          said to himself. Then he said, “Kaka, you sing and dance well. But I don’t

          think you can sing and dance at the same time.”


                                                                   Kaka was not very happy to hear

                                                                   this. He wanted to show that he

                                                                   could sing and dance at the same
                                                                   time. He forgot all about the piece

                                                                   of bread. He sang, “Ka...Ka...Ka...

                                                                   Ka...” and moved his legs up and

                                                                   down. The piece of bread fell

                                                                   down. The clever fox was very
