English Original
A lion and a bear were fighting for possession of a kid, which they had both seized at the same moment. The battle was long and fierce, and at length both of them were exhausted, and lay upon the ground severely wounded and gasping for breath.
A fox had all the time been prowling round and watching the fight. When he saw the combatants lying there too weak to move, he slipped in, seized the kid, and ran off with it. They looked on helplessly, and one said to the other, "Here we've been mauling each other all this while, and no one the better for it except the fox!"

一头狮子和一只熊为争夺一只小山羊而打斗，它们同时抓住了它。战斗漫长而激烈，最终双方都筋疲力尽，严重受伤地躺在地上，气喘吁吁。
一只狐狸一直在附近徘徊，观看着这场打斗。当它看到两个斗士虚弱得无法动弹时，便溜了进去，抓住小山羊，带着它跑掉了。它们无助地看着，其中一个对另一个说：“我们一直在这里互相厮打，结果除了狐狸，谁也没捞到好处！”
