| 22. The Lioness A controversy prevailed among the beasts o f the field, as to which of the animals deserved the most credit for producing the greatest number of whelps at a birth. They rushed clamorously into the presence of the Lioness, and demanded of her the settlement of the dispute, "And y ou," they said, "how many sons have you at a birth?" The Lioness laughed at them, and said: "Why! I have only one; but that one is altogether a thorough-bred Lion." The value is in the worth, not in the number. | 22. 母狮 田野间的野兽在争论着，比较那一种动物一胎能生最多小兽，就应该接受最大的荣耀。 它们喧闹地奔跑到母狮前面，请它来排解纷争。它们又问：「那么你一胎生几个呢？」 母狮对它们笑着说：「哼！ 我一胎只生一只。但是这一只却是一只最优秀的狮子。」 贵在质，而不在量。 |
