88. The Wolf And The Sheep A Wolf, sorely wounded and bitten by do gs, lay sick and maimed in his lair. Being in want of food, he called to a Sheep, who was passing, and asked him to fetch some water from a stream flowing close beside him. "For," he said, "if you will bring me drink, I will find means to provide myself with meat." "Yes," said the Sheep, "if I should bring you the draught, you would doubtless make me provide the meat also." Hypocritical speeches are easily seen thro ugh. | 88. 狼和羊 一只狼被狗咬伤得很严重,残废地躺在它的洞中养病。 因为没有食物,它便叫住在它面前经过的羊,请就在它近旁流着的小溪中,汲一点水给它。 它说:「如果你把喝的水带给我,我自己有办法替自己预备一点肉。」 那羊说:「是的,要是我带给你饮水,你一定也使我成为你所准备的肉了。」 虚伪的说话,容易使人看穿。 |
