Title	â€œCorueâ€, inquit, â€œquam bella auicula es! Quam...
Text Submitted by lynah_di	Source language: Latin â€œCorueâ€, inquit, â€œquam bella auicula es! Quam pulchrae nigraeque pennae tuae sunt! Rostrum tuum pulchre curuatum est. Si tu ...â€. Et subito auiculam laudare cessauit. Inflatus, sed deceptus, coruus uulpeculam obseruabat: uerba plus sperabat.

Title	Raven , he said
Translation English Translated by tarinoidenkertoja	Target language: English "Raven - he said - you are such a beautiful bird! How nice and black your feathers are! Your beak is so nicely bent! If you..." And suddenly, he stopped praising the bird. The raven, feeling proud even though it was cheated, observed the little fox: he waited for more compliments.
Remarks about the translation	inflare : to breath in / to puff up. It also means the habit to inspire deeply and pulling chest out when someone makes you feel important (es. saying compliments)
