A lion, a fox, and an ass1 went out hunting together, They had soon taken a large booty, which the Lion requested the Ass to divide between them. The Ass divided it all into three equal parts, and modestly begged the others to take their choice, at which the lion, bursting with fury, sprang upon the ass and tore him to pieces. Then glaring at the fox, he hade him make a fresh division. The fox gathered almost the whole in one great heap for the lion's share, leaving only the smallest possible morsel2 for himself. "My dear friend," said the lion, "how did you get the knack3 of it so well?" The Fox replied, "Me? Oh, I took a lesson from the ass."
 
Happy is he who learns from the misfortunes of others.
 
狮子、狐狸和驴一起外出打猎。没过多久,他们就虏获了许多战利品,狮子命令驴在其面前分猎物。驴将所有的猎物平均分成三份然后谦和地请狮子和狐狸先挑选自己的那一份。这时,狮子勃然大怒,猛扑过去,撕碎了驴。接着,狮子又盯上了狐狸,命令他来重新分赃。狐狸把所有的猎物都堆在一起,然后请狮子来拿,之留下一点点给自己。“我的好朋友,”狮子说,“你怎么学到的这个窍门呀?”狐狸回答说:“我是从驴那里得到了教训。”
 
你若懂得从他人的不幸中汲取教训,就能获得幸福。
