A MONKEY once danced in an assembly of the Beasts, and so pleased them all by his performance that they elected him their King. A Fox, envying him the honor, discovered a piece of meat lying in a trap, and leading the Monkey to the place where it was, said that she had found a store, but had not used it, she had kept it for him as treasure trove of his kingdom, and counseled him to lay hold of it. —
从前，有一只猴子在兽类的聚会中跳舞，他的表演让所有动物都很喜欢，于是他们选举他为他们的国王。一只狐狸很嫉妒他得到的荣誉，发现了一个陷阱里的一块肉，就引导猴子到那个地方，告诉他自己发现了一处宝藏，为了他的王国而留着没有使用，建议他抓住它。 —

The Monkey approached carelessly and was caught in the trap; and on his accusing the Fox of purposely leading him into the snare, she replied, “O Monkey, and are you, with such a mind as yours, going to be King over the Beasts?”
猴子毫不在意地接近，结果被陷阱捉住了。当他指责狐狸故意引导他上当时，狐狸回答说：“噢，猴子，以你这样的心思，难道要成为兽类之王吗？”
