狡猾的狐貍與狼為了想抓取兔子，就想了一個方法，讓狐貍假裝死去。從而引兔子進屋，將其抓取。狐貍有沒有抓取兔子呢?

　　Clever rabbit

　　The wolf and the fox wanted to eat the rabbit, but it wasn't easy to catch him.

　　One day the wolf said to the fox, "You go home and lie in bed. I'll tell the rabbit that you are dead. When he comes to look at you, you can jump up and catch him." That's a good idea," said the fox.

　　He went home at once. The wolf went to the rabbit's house and knocked at the door. "Who is it?" asked the rabbit. "It's the wolf. I've come to tell you that the fox is dead." Then the wolf went away.

　　The rabbit went to the fox's house. He looked in through the window and saw the fox lying in bed with his eyes closed. He thought, "Is the fox really dead or is he pretending to be dead? If he's not dead, he'll catch me when I go near him." so he said, "The wolf says that the fox is dead. But he doesn't look like a dead fox. The mouth of a dead fox is always open." When the fox heard this, he thought, "I'll show him that I'm dead." So he opened his mouth.

　　The rabbit knew that the fox wasn't dead, and he ran as quickly as he could.

　　聰明的兔子

　　狼和狐貍想要吃掉兔子，但是這只兔子太難抓到了。

　　一天，狼對狐貍說：“你回家假裝躺在床上。我去告訴兔子你已經死了。當他來看你的時候，你就可以跳起來抓住他了。”“真是個好主意!”狐貍說。

　　于是他立刻回到家。狼去兔子的房前敲了敲門，“是誰啊?”兔子問道。“狼，我是來告訴你狐貍已經死了。”說完狼就走開了。兔子去狐貍家看情況。他通過狐貍家的窗戶看到閉著眼睛的狐貍躺在床上。他想，狐貍是真的死了，還是在假裝呢?如果他沒有死，那么我走近他就會被他抓住。于是他說：“狼說狐貍死了。但是他看起來并不像死掉了呀。死去的狐貍通常都是張著嘴的。”狐貍聽到這些話就想：我得證明自己是真的死了。于是他張開了嘴巴。

　　這時兔子知道狐貍并沒有死，他就以最快的速度跑開啦。
