The lion and the fox
The lion once said that he was sick on his death bed.
So he asked all the animals to come and listen to his last wishes.
The goat came to the lion's cave. He stood there and listened for a long time.
Then a sheep went in. Before she came out, a rabbit entered to hear the last wishes of the king of beasts.
But soon the lion seemed to recover, and went to the mouth of his cave.
He saw a fox waiting outside. "Why don't you come in?" asked the lion to the fox.
"I beg Your Majesty's pardon," said the fox, "I have seen many animals enter your cave, but none of them come out.
Till they come out again, I prefer to wait outside."
老狮子与狐狸
●一头年老的狮子声称自己病得要死了，他告诉所有的动物来听他的临终遗言。
●一只山羊进入狮子的洞穴，并一直留在那里，接着一只绵羊也进去了。之前，一只兔子也曾进去听这兽中之王的临终遗言。
●但是不久，狮子好像康复了，能走到洞口了，他看到狐狸站在洞口，就问：“你为什么不进来呢?”
●“尊敬的殿下，”狐狸回答说，“如果我没发现只有进去的'脚印，没有一个出来的脚印，我也许会进洞去。”
寓意: 我们必须小心别人的圈套，因为一旦进去了就很难再出来。
The wolf in sheep's clothing
A wolf wanted to eat the sheep, but he was afraid of the vigilant shepherd and his dogs.
One day the wolf found the skin of a sheep. He put it on and walked among the sheep.
A lamb thought that the wolf was its mother because his skin looked like hers. So it followed the wolf.
Soon after they had left the dogs, the wolf came at the lamb and ate it up. For some time he succeeded in deceiving the sheep, and enjoying hearty meals.
●狼想吃羊，但是他害怕警惕的牧羊人和牧羊犬。
●有一天狼发现了一块羊皮，便披着它混入羊群。
●一只小羊羔把这只披着羊皮的狼误认为自己的妈妈，被领出了羊群。
●狼成功地欺骗了羊群，吃掉了小羊羔。
寓意: 事物的外表有时候会掩盖它的本质，所以我们不能只凭表面现象就作判断。
The fox and the grapes
One hot summer day a fox was walking through an orchard. He stopped before a bunch of grapes. They were ripe and juicy.
"I’m just feeling thirsty," he thought. So he backed up a few paces, got a running start, jumped up, but could not reach the grapes.
He walked back. One, two, three, he jumped up again, but still, he missed the grapes.
The fox tried again and again, but never succeeded. At last he decided to give it up.
He walked away with his nose in the air, and said“I am sure they are sour.”
●一个炎热的夏日，狐狸走过一个果园，他停在一大串熟透而多汁的葡萄前。
●狐狸想：“我正口渴呢。”于是他后退了几步，向前一冲，跳起来，却无法够到葡萄。
●狐狸后退又试。一次，两次，三次，但是都没有得到葡萄。
●狐狸试了一次又一次，都没有成功。最后，他决定放弃，他昂起头,边走边说：“葡萄还没有成熟，我敢肯定它是酸的。”
寓意: 在经历了许多尝试而不能获得成功的时候，有些人往往故意轻视成功，以此来寻求心理安慰。
