一只鹰俯冲下来,用它的鹰爪紧紧地抓住了一条蛇。但蛇反应很快,它紧紧地缠住了鹰。 农夫看见了,便帮鹰解开了蛇,使鹰获得了自由。 为了报复,蛇在农夫的水杯里放了毒汁。 当不知情的农夫端起杯子正准备喝水时,鹰猛扑过来撞掉了农夫手中的水杯。有毒的水洒到了地上。 The Serpent and the Eagle An eagle swooped down upon a serpent and caught it in his talons. But the serpent was very quick. It coiled around the eagle in a moment. A countryman saw the fierce fight. He came to help the eagle,and freed him from the serpent. In revenge, the serpent spat some of its poison into the man’s drinking-cup. When the man was about to drink the water in the cup, the eagle knocked it out of his hand, and spilled the poisoned water on the ground. |
