Each day a red cock flaps his wings and sings,“Get up. It's time to get out of bed.”All of the animals jump out of bed. They love to hear the cock's voice and the cock loves to sing.

　　“He sings so well,”the hens say. The cock nods and feels very happy when he hears this.

　　One day a fox is out and looks for food for lunch. He sees that the cock flaps his wings and sings to the hens.“I am going to catch this big fat cock,”says the fox.

　　When the hens see the fox, they run away at once.“We will not be the fox's food,” they say. “Don't run, Mr Cock,”says the fox.“I only want to listen to your songs. I think you are the best singer in the world, and you are the champion.”The cock is very happy. He thinks he sings best, too. But suddenly the fox grabs（抓取，抓住）him and says,“Let me take you home for lunch.”

　　The other animals notice that the fox is taking the cock away and they run to the fox. The fox can't run very fast because the cock is big and fat. “If I run with you, we can get away,”says the cock. “Run with me then,”orders the fox, and he lets the cock go.

In Canada and the United States, people enjoy entertaining(请客)at home. They often invite friends over for a meal, a party, or just for coffee and conversation.
Here are the kinds of things people say when they invite someone to their home:
" Would you like to come over for dinner on Saturday night? "
" Hey, we're having a party on Friday. Can you come'? "
To reply to an invitation, either say thank you and accept(接受), or say you're sorry and give an excuse(借口):
" Thanks, I'd love to. What time would you like me to come?" or " Oh, sorry. I've tickets for a movie." Sometimes, however, people use expressions(措辞)that sound like invitations, but which are not real invitations(邀请). For example:
" Please come over for a drink sometime? "
" Why not get together for a party sometime? "
"Why don't you come over and see us sometime soon?"
They are really just polite ways of ending a conversation. They are not real invitations because they don't tell time or date. They just show that the person is trying to be friendly. To reply to expressions like these, people just say: "Sure, that would be nice!" or "OK. Yes, thanks."
So next time when you hear what sounds like an invitation. Is it a real invitation or is the person just being friendly?
