【狐貍與刺猬的寓言故事】

　　一只孤貍正在渡過一條水流湍急的河，盡管他努力掙扎著，可依然被水流沖到了遠處的河下游。后來，遍體鱗傷的他精疲力竭，想盡一切辦法從水中爬回到了一塊干燥的土地上，躺在那里一動也不能動。這時，一群饑餓的馬蠅叮滿了他的全身，泰然自若地吮吸著他的血。因為狐貍實在太噓弱，根本無法抖落這些馬蠅。一只剌猬看見了他，并問他是否應該趕走這些害他的馬蠅。但是，狐貍卻回答說：“不用啦，堅決不要打擾他們，因為這些馬蠅已經吃飽，不再叮咬我了；假如你把它們都趕走了，另外一群饑餓的馬蠅就會過來，繼續吸取我體內剩余的血，這樣就會吸干血管里的血。”

　　THE FOX AND THE HEDGEHOG

　　A Fox，in swimming across a rapid river,was swept away by the current and carried a long way downstream in spite of his struggles，until at last，bruised and exhausted，he managed to scramble on to dry ground from a backwater.As he lay there unable to move，a swarm of horseflies settled on him and sucked his blood undisturbed，for he was too weak even to shake them off.A Hedgehog saw him，and asked if he should brush away the flies that were tormenting him；but the Fox replied，“Oh，please，no，not on any account，for these flies have sucked their fill and are taking very little from me now；but，if you drive them off,another swarm of hungry ones will come and suck all the blood I have left，and leave me without a drop in my veins.”
