A donkey, a fox, and a lion
(Aesop’s Fables)
Translation ちいさな翻訳屋さん
Japanese ・ English ・ Chinese
Japanese & English ・Japanese & Chinese
A donkey and a fox went to hunt together
On the way, a lion appeared
(This is dangerous!)
the fox thought, and went closer to the lion alone and said,
“If you will promise my safety and let me go, I will give you that donkey”
The lion agreed, so the fox brought the donkey to a trap and pushed him into a hole.
When the lion made sure that the donkey could not escape,
he first went to capture the fox, and then went to the donkey.
Anyone who tries to trap his friend often ends up caught in the same trap himself.
The end
