兩只打架的公雞和鷹 The Fighting Cocks and the Eagle

Two game cocks were fiercely fighting for the mastery of the farmyard.  One at last put the other to flight.  The vanquished Cock skulked away and hid himself in a quiet corner, while the conqueror, flying up to a high wall, flapped his wings and crowed exultingly with all his might.  An Eagle sailing through the air pounced upon him and carried him off in his talons.  The vanquished Cock immediately came out of his corner, and ruled henceforth with undisputed mastery. 
  Pride goes before destruction. 

為了爭(zhēng)占母雞，兩只公雞打了起來，其中一只把另一只打跑了。那只被打敗的只好躲進(jìn)有遮蓋的地方，那只打勝的卻飛到高墻上大喊大叫。這時(shí)一只鷹猛飛過來，將他抓了去。這以后，那只被打敗的公雞平平安安地占有了那些母雞。

  這故事說明，傲慢給人帶來危害，謙卑給人恩惠。
