The Fox and the Tiger | 狐狸与老虎

English Original

An archer, hunting in the woods, was so successful with his arrows that he killed many wild animals. This frightened the rest so much that they ran into the densest part of the bushes to hide.

At last, the Tiger stood up. Pretending to be very brave, he told the other animals not to be afraid anymore, but to rely on his courage, and he would attack the enemy on his own. While he was talking, and lashing his tail and tearing at the ground with his claws to impress the others, an arrow came and pierced his ribs. The Tiger howled with pain.

While he was trying to draw out the arrow with his teeth, the Fox went up to him and asked in surprise, "Whoever had the strength and courage to wound such a brave and mighty beast as the Tiger?"

"Nay," said the Tiger, "I misjudged my enemy. It was that unbeatable man over there!"

Moral: Knowledge is power.


中文翻译

一位弓箭手在森林中狩猎,箭法精准,射杀了许多野兽。这吓坏了其他动物,它们纷纷逃进灌木丛最茂密的地方躲藏起来。

最后,老虎站了起来。它假装非常勇敢,告诉其他动物不要再害怕,要依靠它的勇气,它将独自去攻击敌人。正当它说话时,为了震慑其他动物,它鞭打着尾巴,用爪子刨着地面。就在这时,一支箭飞来,刺穿了它的肋骨。老虎痛苦地嚎叫起来。

当老虎正试图用牙齿拔出箭时,狐狸走上前,惊讶地问道:“究竟是谁有力量和勇气,能伤害像老虎这样勇敢而强大的野兽呢?”

“不,”老虎说,“我错判了我的敌人。是那边那个不可战胜的人!”

寓意: 知识就是力量。
