English Original
A lion and an ass became hunting partners. They came upon a cave inhabited by wild goats. The lion positioned himself at the cave's entrance, waiting to ambush the goats as they emerged. Meanwhile, the ass went inside and brayed loudly to frighten the goats out into the open.
The lion struck down each goat as it fled. When the cave was empty, the ass came out and boasted, "Well, I scared them out quite effectively, didn't I?"
"Indeed you did," replied the lion. "If I hadn't known you were an ass, I would have been frightened and run away myself."

一头狮子和一头驴结为狩猎伙伴。他们发现了一个住着野山羊的山洞。狮子守在洞口,准备伏击逃出的山羊。与此同时,驴进入洞内,大声嘶叫,试图将山羊吓到洞外。
狮子将逃出的山羊逐一击倒。当山洞清空后,驴走出来夸耀道:“嗯,我把它们吓出来得很成功,不是吗?”
“你确实做到了,”狮子回答道。“如果我不知道你是头驴,我自己也会被吓跑的。”
