The hound and the hare 猎狗和野兔（中英）

A young Hound started a Hare, and, when he caught her up, would at one moment snap at her with his teeth as though he were about to kill her, while at another he would let go his hold and frisk about her, as if he were playing with another dog. At last the Hare said, “I wish you would show yourself in your true colors! If you are my friend, why do you bite me? If you are my enemy, why do you play with me?”

一只小猎狗去抓一只野兔，就在抓兔子的过程中，猎狗一会儿用牙咬他，仿佛要咬死他；一会儿又让他挣脱出去，在周围乱蹦乱跳，仿佛在和另一只狗玩耍。最后，野兔对猎狗说：“我希望你能表现出你的真实面目来！如果你是我的朋友，为什么要咬我？如果你是我的敌人，为什么还跟我玩？”
