Some Dogs once found a lion's skin, and were worrying it with their teeth. Just then a Fox came by, and said, “You think yourselves very brave, no doubt; but if that were a live lion you'd find his claws a good deal sharper than your teeth.”
有一次一些狗发现了一张狮子的皮，各自叼在嘴里撕扯着。这时一只狐狸路过，说：“你们肯定觉得自己都很勇敢，可要是有一只活着的狮子，你们就会发现它的爪子可比你们的利多了。”
