【大紀元5月30日訊】
老虎在森林四處覓食，剛好抓住了狐狸。
狐狸懇求老虎饒牠一命，並說：「您不能吃我，我是天帝派來做百獸之王的。您如果吃了我，就是違抗天帝的命令。」
老虎放開狐狸，不大信服地望著牠。
狐狸繼續說：「您如果不相信，就請跟我到森林裏去，看看百獸是否一見到我就逃跑。」
老虎想了會，就跟著狐狸進入森林。果然，百獸一見到牠們，都驚慌地逃跑了。
The Fox That Flaunted The Tiger’s Terror
The tiger was scouring the forest for prey when he captured the fox. The fox pleaded for his life.
“You can’t eat me,” he told the tiger. “I am sent by the Emperor of Heavens to be the king of all beasts. If you gobble me up, you are defying His Majesty’s will.”
The tiger let go of the fox and looked suspiciously at him.
“If you don’t believe me, follow me into the forest and see for yourself,” continued the fox. “Watch how the animals scamper off at the mere sight of me!”
The tiger thought for a moment, then he followed the fox into the forest. Indeed, as soon as the animals caught sight of them, they all trembled and ran away fearfully.
