獅子、狐貍和驢

A lion, a fox, and an ass went out hunting together, They had soon taken a large booty, which the Lion requested the Ass to divide between them. The Ass divided it all into three equal parts, and modestly begged the others to take their choice, at which the lion, bursting with fury, sprang upon the ass and tore him to pieces. Then glaring at the fox, he hade him make a fresh division. The fox gathered almost the whole in one great heap for the lion's share, leaving only the smallest possible morsel for himself. "My dear friend," said the lion, "how did you get theknack of it so well?" The Fox replied, "Me? Oh, I took a lesson from the ass."

Happy is he who learns from the misfortunes of others.

獅子、狐貍和驢一起外出打獵。沒過多久，他們就虜獲了許多戰(zhàn)利品，獅子命令驢在其面前分獵物。驢將所有的獵物平均分成三份然后謙和地請獅子和狐貍先挑選自己的那一份。這時，獅子勃然大怒，猛撲過去，撕碎了驢。接著，獅子又盯上了狐貍，命令他來重新分贓。狐貍把所有的獵物都堆在一起，然后請獅子來拿，之留下一點點給自己。“我的好朋友，”獅子說，“你怎么學到的這個竅門呀?”狐貍回答說：“我是從驢那里得到了教訓。”

懂得從他人的不幸中汲取教訓，才能獲得幸福。
