A Lion and an Ass set up as partners and went a-hunting together. In course of time they came to a cave in which there were a number of wild goats. The Lion took up his stand at the mouth of the cave, and waited for them to come out; while the Ass went inside and brayed for all he was worth in order to frighten them out into the open. The Lion struck them down one by one as they appeared; and when the cave was empty the Ass came out and said, “Well, I scared them pretty well, didn't I?” “I should think you did,” said the Lion: “why, if I hadn't known you were an Ass, I should have turned and run myself.”
狮子和驴组成搭档一起去打猎，有一天，他们到了一处山洞，那里住着一些野山羊。狮子在山洞口站定，等着野山羊出来。而驴走进去，大声嗷嗷叫着，要把野山羊赶出山洞。野山羊一出来，狮子便将他们一只接一只地扑倒。山洞空了之后，驴出来了，说：“看，我把他们吓坏了，是不是？”“的确是，”狮子说，“哎呀，我要不是知道你是驴，也早掉头跑了。”
