70. The Fox And The Monkey

A Monkey once danced in an assembly of
the Beasts, and so pleased them all by his performance that they elected him their King. A Fox envying him the honour, discovered a piece of meat lying in a trap, and leading the Monkey to the place where it was, said that she had found
a store, but had not used it, but had kept it for him as a treasure trove of his kingdom, and counseled him to lay hold of it. The Monkey approached carelessly, and was caught in the trap; and on his accusing the Fox of purposely leadi
ng him into the snare, she replied, "O Monkey, and are you, with such a mind as yours, going to be King over the Beasts?"

一只猴子,有一次在百兽大会中跳舞,它的表演使野兽们都觉得很有趣,大家便推举它当王。 一只狐狸嫉妒它的荣誉,发现在一个捕兽机里,放有一块肉。它领猴子到捕兽机的地方说;它发现一块宝物,不敢先行动用,只好让它保留着,当作找到的国库,请它接收。 猴子鲁莽地靠近而走过去,便被关在捕兽机里了;它痛骂狐狸存心不良,将它引到陷阱中来,狐狸回答说:「哦,猴子,像你这样没有知识的东西,也配做百兽之王吗?」
