The fox heard that fried meat tastes better than raw meat, and decided to check it out. She caught a beetle and went to the river bank. And on the other bank, opposite the place where the fox stopped, a fire was burning - people had driven their horses there at night. The fox grabbed the beetle with two paws and stretched them towards the fire - let the beetle fry. She waited a little and started working on the beetle. The beetle crunches its teeth, and the fox says:
“It’s a good beetle, it’s just a pity that it got burnt.”
