A MAN committed a murder, and was pursued by the relations of the man whom he murdered. —
有一个人犯了一起谋杀案，被被害者的亲属追捕。 —

On his reaching the river Nile he saw a Lion on its bank and being fearfully afraid, climbed up a tree. —
当他抵达尼罗河时，看到河岸上有一只狮子，他非常害怕，于是爬上了一棵树。 —

He found a serpent in the upper branches of the tree, and again being greatly alarmed, he threw himself into the river, where a crocodile caught him and ate him. —
他在树的上部发现了一条蛇，再次感到非常害怕，于是他跳进了河里，结果被一只鳄鱼吃掉了。 —

Thus the earth, the air, and the water alike refused shelter to a murderer.
如此一来，无论是土地、空气还是水都拒绝了谋杀犯的庇护。
