Now it was the swan's turn.He flew up,and began flying over the sea.The crow flewafter him,making all kinds of comments(评价) about his flying.They flew on and on tillthey couldn't see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides.The crow wasmaking fewer and fewer comments.He was now so exhausted that he found it hard to stay inthe air,and had to struggle to keep himself from falling into the water.

The swan pretended(假装) not to notice,and said,“Why do you keep touching thewater,brother? Is that another trick?”

“No,”said the crow.He knew he had lost the competition.“I'm in trouble because ofmy pride(自大)! If you don't help me,I'll lose my life...”

Cats are the most popular pets among Americans.So it is not surprising that there are alot of expressions about cats.Some cats like to catch small birds,like canaries(金丝雀).Ifsomeone looks very proud and satisfied with himself,we say“he looks like the cat that atethe canary.”

Sometimes,a cat likes to play with a small animal it catches.So if you“play cat andmouse”with someone,it means that you change between different kinds of behavior whendealing with another person.For example,a girl might offer something sweet to her littlebrother and then take it away when he reaches for it.
