The Spider and the Snake | 蜘蛛与蛇

English Original

A large snake passed beneath a spider's web. It wanted to eat the spider but could not reach it, so it gave up and began to leave.

Seeing the snake depart, the spider lowered itself on a silken thread. The snake, spotting an opportunity, raised its head and waited. When the snake returned, the spider retreated back to its web. This happened several times until the snake grew weary and lowered its head.

Seizing the moment, the spider suddenly descended and bit the snake firmly on the head. The wounded snake thrashed wildly, repeatedly crashing to the ground, but could not dislodge the spider. After the snake died, the spider ate its fill of the snake's brains before finally leaving.


中文翻译

一条大蛇从蜘蛛网下经过。它想吃掉蜘蛛,但够不着,只好放弃并准备离开。

蜘蛛见蛇要走,便顺着蛛丝垂降下来。蛇看到机会,又昂起头等待。蜘蛛见蛇回来,便退回到网上。如此重复数次后,蛇感到疲倦,垂下了头。

蜘蛛趁其不备,猛扑下来,紧紧咬住蛇的头部。受伤的蛇疯狂扭动,不断摔到地上,却无法甩掉头上的蜘蛛。蛇死后,蜘蛛饱食了蛇的脑髓,方才离去。
