一块骨头卡在狼的喉咙里,狼出一大笔酬金请鹭鸶把头伸进狼嘴里把骨头取出来。当鹭鸶从狼的喉咙里叼出骨头向狼索要定好的酬金时,狼磨着自己的牙,回答说:“喂,朋友,你能从狼嘴里平安无事地收回头来,难道还不满足,怎么还要讲报酬?” The Wolf and the Crane A wolf who had a bone stuck in his throat hired a crane,for a large sum,to put Ker head into his mouth 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 had a sufficient recompense,in having been permitted to draw out your head in safety from the mouth and jaws of a wolf.” |
