A young Hound started a Hare, and, when he caught her up, would at one moment snap at her with his teeth as though he were about to kill her, while at another he would let go his hold and frisk about her, as if he were playing with another dog. At last the Hare said, “I wish you would show yourself in your true colours! If you are my friend, why do you bite me? If you are my enemy, why do you play with me?”
He is no friend who plays double.
有一只小猎犬追捕一只兔子，他抓住她的时候，忽而猛地一口咬住，似乎要把她杀了一般，忽而又松开爪牙，围着她打转，好像在和另一只小狗玩耍一样。最后，野兔说：“我希望你能露出本来面目！如果你是我的朋友，为什么要咬我？如果你是我的敌人，你又为什么跟我玩耍？”
训诫：两面派并不是朋友。
