English Original
A fox and a leopard were resting lazily after a good meal. They amused themselves by arguing about their looks. The leopard, very proud of his fine coat, declared that the fox's appearance was not as good as his own.
The fox was proud of his own fine tail, but he was clever enough to recognize that his looks were not as striking as the leopard's. "You may have a splendid coat," said the fox, "but you would be far better off with a little more cleverness in your head. That is what I call true beauty."
The story tells us: A fine coat is not always a sign of an attractive mind.

一只狐狸和一只美洲豹饱餐一顿后，正懒洋洋地休息着。他们以争论谁更好看来取乐。美洲豹对自己华丽的皮毛感到非常自豪，宣称狐狸的外表不如自己。
狐狸对自己漂亮的尾巴也很满意，但他足够聪明，明白自己的外表不如美洲豹出众。"你或许有一身华丽的皮毛，"狐狸说，"但如果你头脑里再多一点智慧，你会好得多。那才是我所说的真正的美。"
这个故事告诉我们：华丽的外表并不总是代表美好的心灵。
