English Original
In the fields, there lived a small animal called the flying squirrel.
It would boast to everyone it met: "I have five skills: flying, walking, swimming, climbing trees, and digging holes in the ground."
Its friends would laugh at it, saying: "Though you have learned these skills, you have mastered none of them. You can fly, but not high; you can swim, but not far; you can climb trees, but not to the treetop; you can dig holes, but not deep enough."
Hearing this, the flying squirrel ran away angrily.
Indeed, the flying squirrel had learned five skills, but when put to use, none were effective. How could these be called real skills?

田野里有一种小动物，名叫鼯鼠。
它逢人便夸耀说：“我有五种本领：会飞、会走、会游泳、会爬树、还会掘土打洞。”
它的朋友们都嘲笑它：“你虽然学了这几种本领，却一种也没有精通。会飞，却飞不高；会游泳，却游不远；会爬树，却爬不到树顶；会掘土打洞，却挖得不深。”
鼯鼠听了朋友们的话，气呼呼地跑掉了。
是啊，鼯鼠是学了五种本领，但用起来却一种也不中用。这怎么能算是有真本领呢！
