The Fox and The Leopard

(Aesop’s Fables)

Translation　ちいさな翻訳屋さん

Japanese　←→　Japanese ＆ English　←→　English

　A fox and a leopard were disputing which was more beautiful against each other.

　The leopard took pride in his coat mixed with various colors,

　and insisted that he was more beautiful than the fox.

　Then the fox said,

”How more beautiful I am than you are!

　I'm not talking about our appearances.

　I'm talking about how much more wisdom I have in my head than you do.”



　This story tells us that our richness in wisdom is

　far more meaningful than our external beauty.
