The Lion, the Bear and the Fox-獅子、熊和狐貍
The Lion, the Bear and the Fox
Long ago, a lion and a bear saw a kid. They sprang upon it at the same time. The lion said to the bear, "I caught this kid first, and so this is mine."
"No, no."said the bear, "I found it earlier than you, so this is mine."And they fought long and fiercely. At last both of them got very tired and could no longer fight.
A fox who had hid himself behind a tree not far away and was watching the fight between the lion and the bear, came out and walked in between them, then it ran off with the kid. The lion and the bear both saw the fox, but they could not even catch the fox. The lion said to the bear, "We have fought for nothing. That sly fox has got the kid away."
獅子、熊和狐貍
從前，一只獅子和一只熊看見(jiàn)一個(gè)孩子，它們同時(shí)向他撲去。 獅子對(duì)熊說(shuō)，“我首先捉住的這個(gè)孩子， 因此這個(gè)孩子是我的�！�
“不，不!”熊說(shuō)，“我比你早發(fā)現(xiàn)的，因此他是我的。”它們激烈地爭(zhēng)論了很久。最后它們兩個(gè)感到非常疲乏，再也不能打斗了。
不遠(yuǎn)處，一只狐貍正掩藏在樹(shù)后，觀看著獅子和熊之間的戰(zhàn)斗，這時(shí)它走了出來(lái)，站在它們之間，叼走了這個(gè)孩子。 獅子和熊看到這個(gè)情形，但它們卻不能捉住狐貍。 獅子對(duì)熊說(shuō)：“我們爭(zhēng)斗了那么久卻什么也沒(méi)得到，而這只狡猾的狐貍卻把孩子叼走了。”
