1、The Lion, The Bear And The Fox（獅子、熊與狐貍）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 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, and 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.”

從前，一只獅子和一只熊看見一個孩子，它們同時向他撲去。 獅子對熊說，“我首先捉住的這個孩子， 因此這個孩子是我的。”

“不，不!”熊說，“我比你早發(fā)現(xiàn)的，因此他是我的。”它們激烈地爭論了很久。最后它們兩個感到非常疲乏，再也不能打斗了。

不遠處，一只狐貍正掩藏在樹后，觀看著獅子和熊之間的戰(zhàn)斗，這時它走了出來，站在它們之間，叼走了這個孩子。 獅子和熊看到這個情形，但它們卻不能捉住狐貍。 獅子對熊說：“我們爭斗了那么久卻什么也沒得到，而這只狡猾的狐貍卻把孩子叼走了?！?。
