The sick lion
老狮子
A lion had come to the end of his days. He lay helpless under a tree.
一头年老体衰的狮子病得有气无力,奄奄一息地躺在树下。
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."
动物们围在他的周围,看到狮子快要死了,就来报复他。
So the boar came up and rushed at him with his tusks.
一头野猪冲到他身旁,狠狠地咬他。
Then a bull gored him with his horns. The lion still lay helpless before them.
接着,一头野牛也用角来顶他,狮子无助地躺在那里。
So the ass felt quite safe. He turned his tail to the lion and kicked up his heels into his face.
当驴子看到可以对这庞大的野兽为所欲为时,也用他的蹄子用力去踢狮子的头部。
"This is a double death." growled the lion.
这头快要断气的狮子说:“我已勉强忍受了勇者的施暴,但还得含羞忍受你这个小丑的侮辱,真是死不瞑目。
寓意:
无论过去多么辉煌,都难以避免辉煌失去后别人的不敬与报复。
