| 212. The Horse And The Ass A Horse, proud of his fine trappings, met an Ass on the highway. The Ass being heavily laden moved slowly out of the way. "Hardly," said the Horse, "can I resist kicking you with my heels." The Ass held his peace, and made only a silen t appeal to the justice of the gods. Not long afterwards the Horse, having become broken-winded, was sent by his owner to the farm. The Ass seeing him drawing a dung-cart, thus derided him: "Where, O boaster, are now all thy gay trappings, thou who art thyself reduced to the condition you so lately treated with contempt?" | 212. 马和驴 一匹马很得意它精致的马蹄，这时在路上刚好遇见一只驴子。 那只驴子因为载着重负，所以只能缓缓地让开路。 马说：「我恨不得想要用脚踢你了。」 驴子并不计较，只是默默祈求神保佑。 不久，那匹马患了气喘，被它的主人送到田庄上来。 驴子看见它拖着粪车，便讥笑他说：「啊，吹牛的东西，你那精致的马饰，现在到哪里去了？你自己现在变成了你从前不屑瞧一眼的家伙了！」 |
