1、Aesops FablesA Lion,enfeebled by age and no longer able toprocure food for himself by force,determinedto do so by cunning.有一头上了年纪的狮子，已经不能凭借蛮力去抢夺食物了，暗自思忖着只能用智取的办法才能获得必要食物。Betaking himself to a cave,he lay down insideand feigned to be sick:and whenever any ofthe other animals entered to inquire after
2、hishealth,he sprang upon them and devouredthem.于是，他钻进一个山洞里，躺在地上假装生病，只要有其它小动物走过来窥探他的健康状况，他就会上前抓住他们，然后吃掉。Many lost their lives in this way,till one day aFox called at the cave,and,having a suspicionof the truth,addressed the Lion from outsideinstead of going in,and asked him how he did.就这样，许多动物都丧失了性命。
3、直到有一天，怀疑事实真相的狐狸识破了狮子的诡计，他远远地站在洞外，询问狮子现在感觉如何。He replied that he was in a very bad way:But,said he,why do you stand outside?Pray come in.狮子回答说自己感觉很不好，他问狐狸：“不过，你为什么站在外面问，快进洞里来吧。”I should have done so,answered the Fox,ifI hadnt noticed that all the footprints pointtowards the cave and none the other way.狐狸回答说：“我发现只有进去的脚印，却没有一个出来的脚印，若不是看到这些脚印，我也许已经进洞里去了。”
