Until the fox thought highly of the crow’s beautiful voice, the crow felt flattered and opened his mouth to sing. As soon as the meat fell down to the ground, the fox took the meat and went into his hole.

As he looked down, he saw his shadow in the water.”Just look!”said he to himself. “That dog down there has some meat, too. If I could get it away from him, I would really eat well tonight!”With this thought, he made a snap at the other dog’s meat. And as he did, his own meat fell into the water. So then he had nothing at all.Then he saw that the other dog had lost his meat, too.”That is as it should be!?thought he. “For I saw him trying to take my meat away from me.” By wanting to have everything, he has lost everything he had!

He thus addressed him:”Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me.” “Indeed,” bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, “I was not then born.” Then said the Wolf , “You feed in my pasture.” “No, good sir,” replied the Lamb, “I have not yet tasted grass.” Again said the Wolf, “You drink of my well.” “No,” exclaimed the Lamb, “I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother’s milk is both food and drink to me.” Upon which the Wolf seized him and ate him up, saying, “Well! I won’t remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations.”
The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.
一只狼瞧见一只迷路失群的小羊,决定暂缓下毒手,想先找一些理由,对小羊证明狼有吃它的权利。它就说:“小鬼,你去年曾经骂过我。”“真的,”小羊用悲哀的声调叫道,“那时我还没有出生。”狼说:“你在我的牧场上吃过草。”小羊回答说:“不,好先生,我还没有尝过草的味道呢。”狼又说:“你喝我井里的水。”“不,”小羊叫道,“我从来没有喝过水,因为到现在为止,我既吃妈妈的奶,又喝妈妈的奶。”狼听了这话,一把抓住他,把他吃了下去,说:“喂!即使你驳倒了我每一种假定,我也不会放过你的。”

It happened shortly after this that the Lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him by strong ropes to the ground. The Mouse, recognizing his roar, came and gnawed the rope with his teeth and set him free, exclaiming:
“You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favor; now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to con benefits on a Lion.”
