English Original
A lion and a wild ass went hunting together. The ass, with his superior speed, was to run down the prey, and the lion would then come up and dispatch it. They met with great success. When it came to sharing the spoil, the lion divided it all into three equal portions.
"I will take the first portion," said he, "because I am King of the Beasts. I will also take the second, because, as your partner, I am entitled to half of what remains. As for the third... well, unless you give it up to me and take yourself off pretty quickly, believe me, the third will make you feel very sorry for yourself!"

一头狮子和一头野驴一同外出狩猎。野驴凭借其卓越的速度负责追赶猎物，狮子则随后赶到将其杀死。他们大获成功。到了分享战利品的时候，狮子把所有的猎物分成了三等份。
"我要拿走第一份，"他说，"因为我是百兽之王。我还要拿走第二份，因为作为你的伙伴，我有权获得剩余部分的一半。至于第三份嘛……嗯，除非你把它让给我，并且自己赶快离开，否则，相信我，这第三份会让你后悔莫及的！"
