西方雖然把“獅子”視為百獸之王,但是在中國(guó)古代,百獸之王卻是“老虎”!中國(guó)人自古以來就把老虎看成是一種視秘而不可侵犯的動(dòng)物,對(duì)於老虎真是畏懼叁分。今天小編為大家推薦的是狐假虎威的故事,歡迎閱讀。
故事原文:
很久很久以前,有一座深山里的大老虎,對(duì)自己許下了一個(gè)很高的愿:一定要吃完一百種野獸!
就在老虎辛辛苦苦吃完了九十九種野獸,正在尋找最後一種時(shí),它捕捉到一只狡猾的狐貍。
老虎得意洋洋地想要一口吞下這第一百種野獸時(shí),狡猾的狐貍故意發(fā)怒對(duì)老虎大叫:
“等一下!你這只妄自尊大,不知天高地厚的老虎,也不張開眼睛仔細(xì)瞧瞧本大爺是誰(shuí),就敢張牙舞爪地想吃我,真是大膽!我可是天帝委派的萬(wàn)獸之王,要是你冒犯了我,就等於觸怒天帝呀!那時(shí)你可就要吃不完兜得走了。別在那里吹胡子瞪眼的,整個(gè)山林都知道天帝的這項(xiàng)命令。你如果不相信的話,就跟在我後面到外邊繞一圈看看,怎麼樣?”
老虎雖然百分之九十九的不相信,但是就怕那百分之一的可能,於是就疑心重種地跟在狐貍後面走進(jìn)山林里。
果然如狐貍所說的,所有的動(dòng)物一看到他們都拔腿就跑。老虎看了這種現(xiàn)象,感到非常害怕,於是也趕快逃跑了。狐貍看了,不禁得意地在心中想著:“你這只笨老虎啊!被我騙了還不知道。動(dòng)物們是看了你才逃走的啊!哈哈…………!
英文版本:
Once upon a time, there was a hungry tiger walking in the forest. He saw a fox and decided to catch him and eat him for lunch. He does that swiftly and without much difficulty."No no. Don't eat me please. I am sent by the god, and if you eat me, you are violating the authority of god." cried the fox, helpless and wigling in the tiger's mouth."I have doubts about that." replied the tiger."Here. I'll show you. Why don't we go for a stroll in the forest." exclaimed the fox, desperate now.So the fox and the tiger went walking through the forest with the fox up front with his head held high and the tiger behind, with his attention focused on the fox so that at any sign of escape would be caught and prevented. As they were doing so, the animals in the forest fled away in all directions."See, I have great power and authority here." said the fox.And so the tiger let him go, not knowing that he had been tricked by the fox.
