The wolf the fox and the ape狼狐狸和猿猴（中英）

A Wolf charged a Fox with theft, which he denied, and the case was brought before an Ape to be tried. When he had heard the evidence on both sides, the Ape gave judgment as follows: “I do not think,” he said, “that you, O Wolf, ever lost what you claim; but all the same I believe that you, Fox, are guilty of the theft, in spite of all your denials.”

一只狼指责狐狸偷了他的东西，而狐狸却根本不承认，于是，他们请猿猴来裁决。他们双方各自陈述了理由后，猿猴给出了如下裁决：“狼，我认为你没有丢失什么东西；但同时我也相信，狐狸即使偷过东西，也死不承认。”
