智慧寓言:很難抓到的聰明兔子
The wolf and the fox wanted to eat the rabbit, but it wasn't easy to catch him.
One day the wolf said to the fox, "You go home and lie in bed. I'll tell the rabbit that you are dead. When he comes to look at you, you can jump up and catch him." That's a good idea," said the fox.
He went home at once. The wolf went to the rabbit's house and knocked at the door. "Who is it?" asked the rabbit. "It's the wolf. I've come to tell you that the fox is dead." Then the wolf went away.
The rabbit went to the fox's house. He looked in through the window and saw the fox lying in bed with his eyes closed. He thought, "Is the fox really dead or is he pretending to be dead? If he's not dead, he'll catch me when I go near him." so he said, "The wolf says that the fox is dead. But he doesn't look like a dead fox. The mouth of a dead fox is always open." When the fox heard this, he thought, "I'll show him that I'm dead." So he opened his mouth.
The rabbit knew that the fox wasn't dead, and he ran as quickly as he could.
狼和狐狸想要吃掉兔子，但是這隻兔子太難抓到了。
一天，狼對狐狸說：“你回家假裝躺在牀上。我去告訴兔子你已經死了。當他來看你的時候，你就可以跳起來抓住他了。”“真是個好主意！”狐狸說。
於是他立刻回到家。狼去兔子的房前敲了敲門，“是誰啊？”兔子問道。“狼，我是來告訴你狐狸已經死了。”說完狼就走開了。
兔子去狐狸家看情況。他通過狐狸家的窗戶看到閉着眼睛的狐狸躺在牀上。他想，狐狸是真的死了，還是在假裝呢？如果他沒有死，那麼我走近他就會被他抓住。於是他說：“狼說狐狸死了。但是他看起來並不像死掉了呀。死去的狐狸通常都是張着嘴的。”狐狸聽到這些話就想：我得證明自己是真的死了。於是他張開了嘴巴。
這時兔子知道狐狸並沒有死，他就以最快的速度跑開啦。
這篇英語故事告訴我們：不要被假象迷惑，凡事多多求證才能防患於未然。
