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."

    狮子、熊和狐狸
    从前，一只狮子和一只熊看见一个孩子，它们同时向他扑去。  狮子对熊说，“我首先捉住的这个孩子，  因此这个孩子是我的。”
    “不，不!”熊说，“我比你早发现的，因此他是我的。”它们激烈地争论了很久。最后它们两个感到非常疲乏，再也不能打斗了。
    不远处，一只狐狸正掩藏在树后，观看着狮子和熊之间的战斗，这时它走了出来，站在它们之间，叼走了这个孩子。  狮子和熊看到这个情形，但它们却不能捉住狐狸。  狮子对熊说：“我们争斗了那么久却什么也没得到，而这只狡猾的狐狸却把孩子叼走了。”
