狮子和鹰
The Lion and the Eagle
鹰叫狮子和它结盟。狮子同意了， 但要求鹰保证能言而有信，因为朋友随时可能离开。
An Eagle stayed his flight and entreated a Lion to make an alliance with him to their mutual advantage. The Lion replied, “ I have no objection, but you must excuse me for requiring you to find surety for your good faith, for how can I trust anyone as a friend who is able to fly away from his bargain whenever he pleases?”
Try before you trust.
