伊索寓言：The wolf and the sheep 狼和羊

The Wolf and the Sheep

A WOLF, sorely wounded and bitten by dogs, lay sick and maimed in his lair. Being in want of food, he called to a Sheep who was passing, and asked him to fetch some water from a stream flowing close beside him. "For," he said, "if you will bring me drink, I will find means to provide myself with meat." "Yes," said the Sheep, "if I should bring you the draught, you would doubtless make me provide the meat also."

Hypocritical speeches are easily seen through.

中文：

●狼被狗所咬，伤势很严重，痛苦地躺在巢穴里，不能外出觅食。

　　●他感到又饿又渴，这时，他看见一只羊，便请求他到附近的小河里为他取一点水来。

　　●“你给我一点水解渴”，他说，“我就能自己去寻找食物了。”

　　●“是呀”，羊回答说，“如果我给你送水喝，那么我就会成为你的食物。”

　　寓意: 谎言是经不起推敲的，它很容易被人们识破。
