伊索寓言：狼和鸛雀 the WOLF AND THE CRANEA

Wolf, having a bone stuck in his throat, hired a Crane, for a large sum, to put her head into his throat, and draw out the bone. When the Crane had extracted the bone, and demanded the promised payment, the Wolf, grinning and grinding his teeth, exclaimed: "Why, you have surely already a sufficient recompense, in having been permitted to draw out your head in safety from the mouth and jaws of a wolf."

狼和鸛雀

一隻狼喉嚨鯁了一根骨頭，便用很多錢去僱請一隻鸛雀，將頭伸進他的喉嚨中，把那塊骨頭取出來。當鸛雀拔出那塊骨頭，向他索取約定的報酬，狼卻呲牙咧齒地說：「怎麼？允許你的頭從一隻狼的嘴巴和牙牀中安全地伸出來，已經是莫大的報酬了。」爲惡人效勞，不要希望得到報酬；要是能避免傷害，已經是萬幸了。
