The Lion and the Donkey
沒見過驢子的獅子
One day, a lion cub was searching for food in the forest. He saw a donkey in front of him. It was eating grass. The lion cub had never seen a donkey before. He thought to himself, "I have never seen such a strange animal before. It is larger and taller than me, could it be fiercer and stronger than my dad?" The lion cub felt curious, and continued to watch the donkey from behind a bush. Suddenly, the donkey brayed loudly. The lion cub was frightened by the sound. He thought, "Oh no! Did that animal notice me? Does it want to eat me?" The lion cub was so scared, he ran home immediately to find his father.

When he got home, the scared lion cub told his father, "Papa! I just met a strange animal. It was large and tall, and very loud. I thought it was going to eat me. So, I ran home immediately." Papa Lion said, "Do not panic when you come across something new. You should observe it calmly. Take me to see this animal."

The lion cub took Papa Lion to see the strange animal. When Papa Lion saw the animal he laughed and said, "This is a donkey. It does not have sharp teeth or claws, and cannot hurt even you. Go on, see for yourself."

The lion cub took a closer look. After a while, the lion cub realized that the donkey only knew how to eat grass and bray. And it was quite harmless. He was not afraid of the donkey anymore. The lion cub came out of the bushes and pounced on the donkey. The donkey was scared and tried to escape, but the lion cub said happily, "You do not have sharp teeth or claws, and cannot escape. So, you will be my dinner!"

  有一天森林裡,一隻小獅子正到處尋找食物,見到前方有一隻驢子正在吃草。小獅子從來沒有見過驢子,心想:「我長這麼大,從來沒見過這種奇怪的動物。眼前這傢伙體型比我還要高大,不知道牠會不會比我爸爸還要兇猛?」小獅子覺得好奇,就躲在樹叢裡觀察。過了一會兒,驢子突然大叫一聲,小獅子嚇了一大跳,心想:「這傢伙該不會發現我躲在這裡,想要吃掉我吧?」說著說著,小獅子趕緊逃跑,回去找牠的爸爸。

  小獅子慌慌張張地對獅子爸爸說:「爸爸,剛才我遇到一隻奇怪的動物,體型很高大,叫聲也很響亮,我怕牠把我吃掉,所以嚇得逃回來。」獅子爸爸說:「遇到奇怪的事物,不要驚慌失措,應該冷靜地觀察,你帶我去見見牠。」

  獅子爸爸和小獅子來到剛才的樹叢裡,獅子爸爸看到驢子後,笑著說:「這傢伙叫做驢子,一點本領都沒有,連你都打不過,不信的話,你可以仔細觀察一下。」

  小獅子繼續觀察,發覺驢子的叫聲雖然響亮,但牠除了大叫以外,就只會吃草而已,根本就沒有什麼厲害的本領。因此,小獅子就從樹叢裡跑出來,快速向驢子撲過去,驢子嚇得一直掙扎。小獅子高興地說:「想不到你一點本領都沒有,這下子,你只能成為我的晚餐了!」
