🔊 An Ass and a Fox went into partnership and sallied out to forage for food together. They hadn't gone far before they saw a Lion coming their way, at which they were both dreadfully frightened. But the Fox thought he saw a way of saving his own skin, and went boldly up to the Lion and whispered in his ear, "I'll manage that you shall get hold of the Ass without the trouble of stalking him, if you'll promise to let me go free." The Lion agreed to this, and the Fox then rejoined his companion and contrived before long to lead him by a hidden pit, which some hunter had dug as a trap for wild animals, and into which he fell.

一头驴和一只狐狸合伙外出觅食。它们没走多远,就看到一只狮子迎面而来,吓得魂飞魄散。但狐狸灵机一动,想出了救自己的法子,它壮起胆子走到狮子跟前,附耳低语道:“你若答应放我走,我自有办法让你不费吹灰之力就抓住驴。”狮子应允了,狐狸便回到同伴身边,不久后便设法将它引到一个猎人挖来捕捉野兽的隐蔽陷阱旁,那驴就这样掉了进去。
