Cunning often outwits itself.
鹅和鹤
The Geese and the Cranes
鹅和鹤在同一块草地上吃草,突然来了一个捕鸟人。轻巧的鹤很快飞走了。身体沉重的鹅,动作缓慢,还没来得及飞,就成了俘虏。
弱者需要加倍小心。
The Geese and the Cranes were feeding in the same meadow,when a birdcatcher came to ensnare them in his nets. The Cranes,being light of wing,fled away at his approach;while the Geese,being slower of flight and heavier in their bodies,were captured.
The more vulnerable need to watch more closely.
