The Fox and the Crow

A crow, perched in a tree with a piece of cheese in his beak, attracted the eye and nose of a fox. "If you can sing as prettily as you sit," said the fox, "Then you are the prettiest singer within my scent and sight." The fox had read somewhere, and somewhere, and somewhere else, that praising the voice of a crow with a cheese in his beak would make him drop the cheese and sing. But this is not what happened to this particular crow in this particular case.

"They say you are sly and they say you are c r a z y," said the crow, having carefully removed the cheese from his beak with the claws of one foot, "But you must be nearsighted as well. Warblers wear gray hats and colored jackets and bright vest, and they are a dollar a hundred. I wear black and I am unique."

"I am sure you are," said the fox, who was neither c r a z y nor nearsighted, but sly. "I recognize you, now that I look more closely, as the most famed and talented of all birds, and I fain would hear you tell about yourself, but I am hungry and must go."

"Tarry awhile," said the crow quickly," and share my lunch with me." Whereupon he tossed the cunning fox the lion's share of the cheese, and began to tell about himself. "A ship that sails without a crow's nest sails to doom," he said. "Bars may come and bars may go, but crow bars last forever. I am the pioneer of flight, I am the map maker. Last, but never least, my flight is known to scientists and engineers, geometricians, and scholar, as the shortest distance between two points. Any two points," he concluded arrogantly. 
     
"Oh, every two points, I am sure," said the fox. "And thank you for the lion's share of what I know you could not spare." And with this he trotted away into the woods, his appetite appeased, leaving the hungry crow perched forlornly in the tree.

Jawaban yang tepat adalah "No, he didn't give up to persuade the crow to share his lunch".

Soal ini menanyakan tentang apakah rubah menyerah dalam mencoba membujuk gagak untuk membagi makan siangnya.

Untuk mengetahuinya, kita bisa melihat dan memahami paragraf ketiga sampai kelima.

Pada paragraf-paragraf tersebut dijelaskan bahwa sang rubah memuju-muji sang gagak dengan mengatakan bahwa sang gagak adalah burung yang paling terkenal dan berbakat, sehingga sang rubah ingin mendengar sang gagak untuk bercerita tentang dirinya, namun sang rubah lapar dan harus pergi.

Sang gagak yang tertipu oleh ucapan sang rubah, kemudian meminta sang rubah untuk beristirahat sebentar dan berbagi makan siang dengannya. Kemudian sang gagak melemparkan bagian terbesar kejunya kepada sang rubah, dan mulai bercerita tentang dirinya.

Setelah mendapatkan makanan dari sang gagak, sang rubah kemudian pergi berlari ke hutan dengan perut yang kenyang dan meninggalkan gagak bertengger sedih di pohon.

Dari paragraf-paragraf tersebut, dapat disimpulkan bahwa sang rubah tidak menyerah dalam membujuk gagak untuk berbagi makan siang dengannya.

Oleh karena itu, jawaban yang tepat adalah "No, he didn't give up to persuade the crow to share his lunch".
