The Sick Lion 生病的狮子
A lion had come to the end of his days. He lay helpless under a tree.
The animals came around him. When they saw that he was going to die, they thought to
themselves, "Now is the time to pay him back."
So the boar came up and rushed at him with his tusks.
Then a bull gored him with his horns. The lion still lay helpless before them.
So the ass felt quite safe. He turned his tail to the lion and kicked up his heels into his face.
"This is a double death." growled the lion.

The Greedy Dog
（贪心的狗）
One day, a dog found a bone, so he happily took it home.
On his way home, he walked on a bridge.
As he looked down at the river, he saw his
reflection
in the water.
He didn’t know that was
himself. He
thought that was
another dog
with
a
bigger
bone.

He looked at the dog, and the dog looked at him, too.

The
dog
thought, “His bone
seems to be bigger than mine. It would be
great if I
could get his bone.” Thus, he started to bark at the dog in the water.


However, just when he opened his mouth, his bone dropped and
float
away. Seeing
that, the dog was upset. He kept jumping and barking, but it was too late.
