104. The Ass, The Cock, And The Lion

An Ass and a Cock were in a s
traw-yard together, when a Lion, desperate from hunger, approached the spot. He was about to spring upon the Ass, when the Cock (to the sound of whose voice the Lion, it is said, has a singular aversion) crowed loudly, and the Lion fled
away as fast as he could. The Ass observing his trepidation at the mere crowing of a Cock, summoned courage to attack him, and galloped after him for that purpose. He had run no long distance, when the Lion turning ab
out, seized him and tore him to pieces.

False confidence often leads into danger.
104. 驴子、公鸡和狮子
一只驴子和一只公鸡同住在一个农场里,这时有一只狮子饥肠辘辘,便走近这里。 它正想要扑向驴子的时候,那公鸡高声地啼叫了。(据说,狮子对于鸡啼声非常讨厌。)狮子听了便拼命地逃走。 驴子看见公鸡只啼了一声,狮子便害怕,就鼓起勇气去扑击它,在它的后面追赶。 驴子没有追多远,然后狮子回头一看,抓住驴子,把它撕碎吞了。
错误的自信,会引人到危险的路途上。
