1The Lion and the Mouse狮和鼠

Lion was awakened from sleep by a Mouse running over his face.

Rising up in anger, he caught him and was about to kill him, when the Mouse piteously entreated, saying: "If you would only spare my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness." The Lion laughed and let him go.

It happened shortly after this that the Lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him by strong ropes to the ground.

The Mouse, recognizing his roar, came up, and gnawed the rope with his teeth, and setting him free, exclaimed: "You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, not expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favour; but now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to confer benefits on a Lion."

Little friends may prove great friends.

一只老鼠从一只狮子面前跑过去,将它从梦中吵醒。

狮子生气地跳起来,捉住老鼠,要弄死它。老鼠哀求说：”只要你肯饶恕我这条小生命,我将来一定会报答你的大恩。”狮子便笑着放了它。

后来狮子被几个猎人捉住,用粗绳捆绑倒在地上。

老鼠听出是狮子的吼声,走来用牙齿咬断绳索,释放了牠,并大声说：”你当时嘲笑我想帮你的忙,而且也不指望我有什么机会报答。但是你现在知道了,就算是小老鼠,也能向狮子效劳的。”

强者不会永远是强者,强者也会有需要弱者帮助的时候。

Come with me running through the forest, you'll feel so much better!" The giraffe looks at him, looks at the joint, tosses it and goes off running with the rabbit.3 m1

Then they come across an elephant doing coke, so the rabbit again says, "Elephant my friend, why do you do this? Think about your health. Come running with us through the pretty forest, you'll feel so good!" The elephant looks at them, looks at his coke, then tosses it and starts running with the rabbit and giraffe.

The three animals then come across a lion about to shoot up and the rabbit again says, "Lion my friend, why do you do this? Think about your health! Come running with us through the sunny forest, you will feel so good!"

The lion looks at him, puts down his needle, and starts to beat the hell out of the rabbit. As the giraffe and elephant watch in horror, they look at him and ask, "Lion, why did you do this? He was merely trying to help us all!

The lion answers, "He makes me run around the forest like an idiot each time he's on ecstasy!"

后来它们遇到一只正准备吸食可卡因的大象,小白兔又对大象说：“大象我的朋友,你为什么要做这种事呢?想想自己的健康啊。跟我们一起在这片美丽的森林中奔跑吧,你会感觉好很多!”大象看看它们,又看看手中的可卡因,于是把可卡因向身后一扔,跟着小白兔和长颈鹿一起奔跑。

后来它们遇到一只正准备注射毒品的狮子,小白兔又对狮子说：“狮子我的朋友,你为什么要做这种事呢?想想自己的健康啊!跟我们一起在这片阳光明媚的森林中奔跑吧,你会感觉如此美好!”

狮子回答：“这家伙每次嗑了摇头丸就拉着我像白痴一样在森林里乱跑!”
