狮子和牧羊人
The Lion and the Shepherd
狮子踩到一根刺,牧羊人邦它把刺拔了出来。后来牧羊人被冤枉进了监狱,还被判给狮子吃掉。但狮子认出那是它的恩人,没有吃他,国王听说后就把牧羊人和狮子都放了。
A Lion, roaming through a forest, trod upon a thorn. Soon afterward he came up to a Shepherd and fawned upon him, wagging his tail as if to say,” I am a suppliant, and seek your aid.” The Shepherd boldly examined the beast, discovered the pain, the Lion returned into the forest. Some time after, the Shepherd, being imprisoned on a false accusation, was condemned “ to be cast to the Lions as the punishment for his imputed crime. But when the Lion was released from his cage, he recognized the Shepherd as the man who healed him, and instead of attacking him, approached and placed his foot upon his lap. The King, as soon as he heard the tale, ordered the Lion to be set free again in the forest, and the Shepherd to be pardoned and restored to his friends.
