Chapter 272 The Lion and the Fox(狮子和狐狸).jpg

A FOX entered into partnership with a Lion on the pretense of becoming his servant. —
一只狐狸与一只狮子合作,假装成为他的仆人。 —

Each undertook his proper duty in accordance with his own nature and powers. —
每个人按照自己的本性和能力履行自己的职责。 —

The Fox discovered and pointed out the prey; —
狐狸发现并指出猎物; —

the Lion sprang on it and seized it. —

狐狸很快嫉妒狮子独占最大的一份,说他不再找出猎物,而是为自己捕捉。 —
