Wolf, having a bone stuck in his throat, hired a Crane, for a large sum, to put her head into histhroat, and draw out the bone. When the Crane had extracted the bone, and demanded thepromised payment, the Wolf, grinning and grinding his teeth, exclaimed: "Why, you havesurely already a sufficient recompense, in having been permitted to draw out your head insafety from the mouth and jaws of a wolf."

狼和鸛雀

一隻狼喉嚨鯁了一根骨頭，便用很多錢去僱請一隻鸛雀，將頭伸進他的喉嚨中，把那塊骨頭取出來。當鸛雀拔出那塊骨頭，向他索取約定的報酬，狼卻呲牙咧齒地說：「怎麼?允許你的頭從一隻狼的嘴巴和牙床中安全地伸出來，已經是莫大的報酬了。」為惡人效勞，不要希望得到報酬;要是能避免傷害，已經是萬幸了。

英文寓言故事及其翻譯2:狼和小羊

the WOLF AND THE LAMBA

Wolf, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, butto find some plea, which should justify to the Lamb himself his right to eat him. He thusaddressed him:"Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me." "Indeed," bleated the Lamb in amournful 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 drinkof my well." "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother′s milk isboth food and drink to me." On 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 willalways find a pretext for his tyranny.

狼和小羊

一隻狼瞧見一隻迷路失群的小羊，決定暫緩下毒手，想先找一些理由，對小羊證明自己有吃它的權利。它就說：「小鬼!你去年曾經罵過我。」小羊可憐地說：「老實說，我去年還沒有出生呢。」狼再說：「你在我的草地上吃過草。」

小羊回答說：「不，好先生，我還未曾嘗過草的味道呢。」狼又說：「你喝過我井裡的水。」小羊叫道：「不，我從沒有喝過水，因為直到今天為止，我都是吃著母親的奶汁。」狼一聽這話，便抓住它，把它吃下去，便說：「好!即使你駁倒我每一句話，我終究要吃晚餐的!」暴君總有他暴行的藉口。
