101. The One - Eyed Doe

A Doe, blind of an eye, was accustomed to
graze as near to the edge of the cliff as she possibly could, in the hope of securing her greater safety. She turned her sound eye towards the land, that she might get the earliest tidings of the approach of hunter or hound, and her inj
ured eye towards the sea, from whence she entertained no anticipation of danger. Some boatmen sailing by, saw her, and taking a successful aim, mortally wounded her. Yielding up her breath, she gasped forth this lament
: "O wretched creature that I am! to take such precaution against the land, and after all to find this sea-shore, to which I had come for safety, so much more perilous."
101. 独眼的牝鹿
一只瞎了一眼的牝鹿,常常想办法吃靠近山崖的草,希望可以安全些。 它那只健全的眼睛,看着岸上,那样它便可以看见猎人或者猎狗靠近的行动。它那瞎了的眼睛,就向着海,它想海是比较没有危险的。 有几个摇船的人,坐着船经过,看见了它,瞄得很准,一箭便射中致命伤。 它在临死的时候,喘着气说:「哦,我多么不幸啊。对于岸上那般的小心,结果找到这海边,我希望在海边会安全一点,谁知道更是危险呢。」
