English Original
Long ago, a lion and a bear saw a young goat. They both sprang upon it at the same time.
The lion said to the bear, "I caught this kid first, so it is mine."
"No, no," said the bear. "I found it earlier than you, so it is mine."
They fought long and fiercely. At last, both grew very tired and could fight no more.
A fox, who had been hiding behind a nearby tree watching the fight, came out. He walked between the exhausted animals and ran off with the goat.
The lion and the bear saw the fox but were too weak to catch him.
The lion said to the bear, "We have fought for nothing. That sly fox has taken our prize."

很久以前，一只狮子和一只熊看到了一只小山羊。它们同时扑向了它。
狮子对熊说：“是我先抓住这只山羊的，所以它是我的。”
“不，不，”熊说。“是我比你先发现它的，所以它是我的。”
它们激烈地打斗了很长时间。最后，双方都筋疲力尽，再也打不动了。
一只狐狸一直躲在附近的树后观战，这时走了出来。它从两个精疲力竭的动物中间走过，叼着山羊跑掉了。
狮子和熊看到了狐狸，但它们太虚弱了，根本追不上。
狮子对熊说：“我们白打了一场。那只狡猾的狐狸把我们的战利品拿走了。”
