🔊 A Man once caught an Eagle, and after clipping his wings turned him loose among the fowls in his hen-house, where he moped in a corner, looking very dejected and forlorn. After a while his Captor was glad enough to sell him to a neighbour, who took him home and let his wings grow again. As soon as he had recovered the use of them, the Eagle flew out and caught a hare, which he brought home and presented to his benefactor. A fox observed this, and said to the Eagle, "Don't waste your gifts on him! Go and give them to the man who first caught you; make _him_ your friend, and then perhaps he won't catch you and clip your wings a second time."

从前有个人捉到一只鹰,剪去它的翅膀后,将它扔进鸡舍与家禽为伍。它蜷缩在角落,神情颓丧,孤寂不堪。不久,捕获者乐得将它卖给邻居,邻居带回家中,任其翅膀重新生长。待羽翼复健,鹰振翅飞出,擒获一只野兔,衔回家中献给恩主。一只狐狸目睹此景,对鹰言道:“莫将厚礼虚掷于此人！当赠予最初擒你之人；与他结为友伴,兴许他便不再捉你剪翅,重施故技。”
