English Original
A hound, roaming in the forest, spied a lion. Thinking the lion would be easy prey, he gave chase, imagining a fine quarry. Soon, the lion realized he was being followed. He stopped abruptly, turned to face his pursuer, and let out a mighty roar. The hound immediately turned tail and fled.
A fox, witnessing this, jeered at him: "Ho! Ho! There goes the coward who chased a lion but ran away the moment he roared!"

一只猎狗在森林里游荡时，瞥见了一头狮子。它以为狮子是唾手可得的猎物，便追了上去，幻想着能捕获一个不错的战利品。很快，狮子察觉到自己被跟踪了。它突然停下，转身面对追逐者，发出一声震耳欲聋的咆哮。猎狗立刻掉头逃跑了。
一只狐狸目睹了这一切，便嘲笑它道：“嗬！嗬！看那个胆小鬼，竟敢追逐狮子，可狮子一吼就落荒而逃了！”
