第26章 The Ass, the Fox, and the Lion 驴子 狐狸和狮子

THE ASS and the Fox, having entered into partnership together for their mutual protection, went out into the forest to hunt. They had not proceeded far when they met a Lion. The Fox, seeing imminent danger, approached the Lion and promised to contrive for him the capture of the Ass if the Lion would pledge his word not to harm the Fox. Then, upon assuring the Ass that he would not be injured, the Fox led him to a deep pit and arranged that he should fall into it. The Lion, seeing that the Ass was secured, immediately clutched the Fox, and attacked the Ass at his leisure.

为了各自的安全，驴子与狐狸决定和平相处。有一天，他们一起去森林里打猎，不料，还没走多远，就遇到了一头狮子。狐狸见情况危急，连忙跑到狮子面前表示只要狮子保证他的安全，他就设法诱骗驴子上当。狮子答应了。于是，狐狸把驴子骗入了陷阱。狮子见驴子已经无法逃脱，就立刻把狐狸吃了，然后再悠闲地享用驴子。

千万不要轻信你的敌人。
