| 150. The Lion, The Fox, And The Ass The Lion, the Fox, and the Ass entered into an agreement to assist each other in the chase. Having secured a large booty, the Lion, on their return from the forest, asked the Ass to allot his due portion to each of the three partners in the treaty. The Ass carefully divided the spoil into three equal shares, and modestly requested the two others to make the first choice. The Lion, bursting out into a great rage, devoured the Ass. Then he requested the Fox to do hi m the favour to make a division. The Fox accumulated all that they had killed into one large heap, and left to himself the smallest possible morsel. The Lion said, "Who has taught you, my very excellent fellow, the art of division? You are perfect to a fraction." He replied, "I learnt it from the Ass, by witnessing his fate." Happy is the man who learns from the misfortunes of others. | 150. 狮子、狐狸和驴子 狮子、狐狸和驴子一起去狩猎。 有一天它们猎得了大宗的猎物，当他们从旷野中回来之后，狮子要驴子把猎物分成三份。 驴子小心翼翼的把猎物平分为三份，并且谦虚的请它们二位先来选择。 狮子突然大怒，把驴子杀死了。 然后又请狐狸来做分配的工作。 狐狸把所有的猎物堆在一起，而分给自己极少的食物。 狮子说：「我聪明的朋友，谁教你这分配的伎俩？ 你分配的很好。」 狐狸答道：「这种分配的方法，是从亲眼目睹驴子的死亡中学来的。」 从遭遇不幸者身上学习经验的人，才是幸福的人。 |
