An ass having heard some grasshoppers chirping, was highly enchanted; and, desiring to possess the same charms of melody, demanded what sort of food they lived on to give them such beautiful voices. They replied, "The dew."
The ass resolved that he would live only upon dew, and in a short time died of hunger.
一头驴听到几只蚱蜢在鸣叫，被深深迷住了。它渴望拥有同样美妙的歌喉，便询问蚱蜢是吃什么食物才拥有如此动听的声音。蚱蜢答道：“露水。”
于是，驴子决定只以露水为食，不久便饿死了。
