狐假虎威
The Fox's False Bravado
視訊加載中...
很久很久以前，在一個大森林裡，生活着許多動物。在這些動物中，有一隻聰明的小狐狸。
Once upon a time, in a vast forest, lived many animals. Among these animals was a clever little fox.
一天，這隻小狐狸在森林裡閑逛時，突然遇到了森林之王——大老虎。大老虎看起來餓極了，眼神兇狠地盯着它，它吓得渾身發抖，它知道自己如果不想出個辦法，就要被大老虎吃了。
One day, as the little fox was strolling through the forest, it suddenly encountered the king of the forest—the great tiger. The tiger looked famished and stared fiercely at it. The fox trembled in fear, knowing that if it didn’t think of a solution quickly, it would be eaten by the great tiger.
這時，小狐狸靈機一動，對老虎說：“老虎大王，您可能不知道，天神最近派我來這森林，讓我幫忙管理這裡的秩序。天神還說，所有的動物看到我都必須退讓，如果您不信，我們可以一起走一圈，您就知道了。”
In that moment, the little fox had a brilliant idea and said to the tiger, “Great King Tiger, you might not be aware, but recently the gods have sent me to this forest to help manage its order. The gods also declared that all animals must yield to me upon sight. If you don’t believe me, let us take a walk together, and you will see for yourself.”
大老虎雖然餓，但還是決定看看小狐狸說的是不是真的。于是，它跟在小狐狸後面，一起走進森林深處。
Although the tiger was hungry, it decided to see if what the little fox said was true. So, it followed the little fox deeper into the forest.
小狐狸走在前面，盡量裝出一副很有威嚴的樣子，而大老虎緊随其後。森林中的動物們看到大老虎，個個都吓得四處逃散，樹上的鳥兒急忙飛起，小鹿和小兔則躲進了濃密的草叢。
The little fox walked ahead, trying its best to appear majestic, while the great tiger followed closely behind. As the animals of the forest saw the great tiger, they all scattered in terror, birds in the trees took flight in haste, while deer and rabbits hid in thick bushes.
大老虎看到這一幕，開始相信小狐狸的話了。它想：“原來這隻小狐狸真的有這麼大的威嚴，連我都沒注意到。”從此以後，大老虎再也沒想過要吃小狐狸，反而覺得小狐狸能成為一個好朋友。小狐狸，這才從虎口之下逃脫了出來。
Seeing this, the great tiger began to believe the little fox's words. It thought, “It turns out this little fox does possess such great authority that even I hadn’t noticed before.” From then on, the great tiger no longer thought of eating the little fox but instead considered it a potential friend. Thus, the little fox escaped from the jaws of death.
