Once upon a time, a tiger caught a fox and was about to eat it.
从前,一只老虎抓住了一只狐狸,准备吃掉它。
The fox was not afraid at all and said, 'You cannot eat me because I am the king of all beasts sent by the Emperor of Heaven.'
狐狸一点也不害怕,说:“你不能吃我,因为我是天帝派来的百兽之王。”
The tiger did not quite believe it.
老虎不太相信。
The fox said, 'If you do not believe me, just follow me and walk around to see the reactions of the animals.'
狐狸说:“如果你不信,就跟在我后面走一圈,看动物们的反应。”
So the tiger followed behind the fox.
于是老虎跟在狐狸后面走。
The animals in the forest saw the tiger coming and were so scared that they fled in all directions.
森林里的动物看到老虎来了,都吓得四处逃跑。
The fox said to the tiger, 'You see, they are all afraid of me.'
狐狸对老虎说:“你看,它们都怕我。”
The tiger believed it to be true and let the fox go.
老虎信以为真,就把狐狸放走了。
