264. The Lion And The Fox A Fox entered into partnership with a Lion, on the pretence of becoming his servant. Each undertook his proper duty in accordance with his own nature and powers. The Fox discovered and pointed out the prey, the Lion sprung on it, and seized it. The Fox soon became jealous of the Lion carrying off the Lion's share, and said that he would no longer find out the prey, but would capture it on his own account. The next day he attempted to snatch a lamb from the fold, but fell himself a prey to the huntsmen and hounds. | 264. 狮子和狐狸 一只狐狸以假藉当狮子的奴仆和一只狮子合作。 它们根据自己的天性和本能,各自担负相当的责任。 狐狸发现食物,指出它的位置,便由狮子去扑抓。 不久狐狸看见狮子带走属于它的一部份,便非常嫉妒,说它不愿再搜寻食物,只愿自己去攫取了。 第二天它到羊栏里去试抓一只羔羊,但是反让它自己变成猎人和猎狗的食物。 |
