138. The Mouse And The Bull

A Bull was bitten by a Mouse, and, pain
ed by the wound, tried to capture him. The Mouse first reached his hole in safety, and the Bull dug into the walls with his horns, until wearied, crouching down, he slept by the hole. The Mouse peeping out, crept furti
vely up his flank, and, again biting him, retreated to his hole. The Bull rising up, and not knowing what to do, was sadly perplexed. The Mouse murmured forth, "The great do not always prevail. There
are times when the small and lowly are the strongest to do mischief."
138. 老鼠和公牛
一只公牛被老鼠咬了一口,觉得很痛,想捕捉老鼠。 老鼠却早已平安地逃到洞里去了,公牛便用它的角去撞那座墙,直到后来精疲力尽,便躺了下去,在洞口睡着了。 老鼠向外偷看一下,轻轻地爬到它的腋下,再咬它一口,又逃到洞里去。 公牛醒来,无法可想,非常忧伤的不知所措。 老鼠对着外面喃喃地说:「大人物不一定是胜利者。 有时候,微小低贱的东西,却显得更厉害啊。」
