A Hunter was searching in the forest for the tracks of a lion, and, catching sight presently of a Woodman engaged in felling a tree, he went up to him and asked him if he had noticed a lion's footprints anywhere about, or if he knew where his den was. The Woodman answered, “If you will come with me, I will show you the lion himself.” The Hunter turned pale with fear, and his teeth chattered as he replied, “Oh, I'm not looking for the lion, thanks, but only for his tracks.”
有一个猎人进入丛林，想寻找一只狮子的踪迹，他看到一个樵夫正在砍树，于是上前询问是否在哪里见过狮子的足迹，或是知道狮子的巢穴在哪里。樵夫回答说：“你要是跟我走，我带你去见狮子。”猎人吓得脸色发白，牙关乱颤。“啊，多谢，我可不是在找狮子，我只是想找到他的踪迹而已。”
