English Original
The wolf and the fox wanted to eat the rabbit, but he was not easy to catch.
One day, the wolf said to the fox, "You go home and lie in bed. I'll tell the rabbit you are dead. When he comes to look, you can jump up and catch him."
"That's a good idea," said the fox.
The fox went home at once. The wolf went to the rabbit's house and knocked at the door.
"Who is it?" asked the rabbit.
"It's the wolf. I come to tell you the fox is dead," said the wolf, and then he went away.
The rabbit went to the fox's house. He looked through the window and saw the fox lying in bed with his eyes closed. He thought, "Is the fox really dead, or is he pretending? If he's not dead, he'll catch me when I go near."
So he said, "The wolf says the fox is dead. But he doesn't look like a dead fox. A dead fox's mouth is always open."
When the fox heard this, he thought, "I'll show him I'm dead." So he opened his mouth.
The rabbit knew then that the fox wasn't dead, and he ran away quickly.
中文翻译
狼和狐狸想吃掉兔子，但这只兔子很难抓到。
一天，狼对狐狸说：“你回家躺在床上。我去告诉兔子你死了。等他来看你时，你就可以跳起来抓住他。”
“好主意。”狐狸说。
狐狸立刻回家了。狼来到兔子家敲门。
“谁呀？”兔子问。
“我是狼。我来告诉你狐狸死了。”狼说完便离开了。
兔子去了狐狸家。他从窗户往里看，看到狐狸闭着眼睛躺在床上。他想：“狐狸是真的死了，还是在装死？如果他没死，我一靠近他就会被抓住。”
于是他说：“狼说狐狸死了。但他看起来不像只死狐狸。死狐狸的嘴巴总是张着的。”
狐狸听到这话，心想：“我要让他看看我确实死了。”于是他张开了嘴。
兔子立刻明白狐狸没死，便飞快地跑掉了。
