A Crab once left the sea-shore and went and settled in a meadow some way inland, which looked very nice and green and seemed likely to be a good place to feed in. But a hungry Fox came along and spied the Crab and caught him. Just as he was going to be eaten up, the Crab said, “This is just what I deserve; for I had no business to leave my natural home by the sea and settle here as though I belonged to the land.”
Be content with your lot.
有一只螃蟹离开海滩，到内陆草原定居，草原看上去美丽可爱，是个适合生活的好地方。但是这时一只饥饿的狐狸路过，看到螃蟹，抓住了他。要被吃掉的时候，螃蟹说：“我可真是活该啊，我无缘无故离开了大海的家，来到这里，好像我属于陆地似的。”
训诫：要乐天知命。
