There were two Cocks in the same farmyard, and they fought to decide who should be master. When the fight was over, the beaten one went and hid himself in a dark corner; while the victor flew up on to the roof of the stables and crowed lustily. But an Eagle espied him from high up in the sky, and swooped down and carried him off. Forthwith the other Cock came out of his corner and ruled the roost without a rival.
Pride comes before a fall.
一个农场上有两只公鸡互相争斗，想决出谁是主人。战斗结束之后，被打败的那只走了，躲藏在一个黑暗的角落里，而胜出的那只飞到了畜舍的屋顶上，神采奕奕地叫个不停。一只在天空中飞过的鹰看到了他，俯冲下来将他捉走了。另外那只公鸡立刻从角落里出来，然后成了统治者。
训诫：骄傲之后就是失势。
