狐    狸    和    马   

 一    个    农    夫    有    一    匹    勤    勤    恳    恳   、 任    劳    任    怨    为    他    干    活    的    马   ， 但    这    匹    马    现    在    已    经    老    了   ， 干    活    也    不    行    了   ， 所    以   ， 农    夫    不    想    再    给    马    吃    东    西   。 他    对    马    说   ：" 我    再    也    用    不    着    你    了   ， 你    自    己    离    开    马    厩    走    吧   ， 到    你    比    一    头    狮    子    更    强    壮    时   ， 我    自    然    会    把    你    牵    回    来    的   。"

 说    完   ， 他    打    开    门   ， 让    马    自    己    去    谋    生    去    了   。

 这    匹    可    怜    的    马    非    常    悲    哀   ， 它    在    森    林    里    茫    无    目    标    地    到    处    徘    徊   ， 寒    风    夹    着    细    雨   ， 更    增    加    了    它    的    痛    楚   ， 它    想    寻    找    一    个    小    小    的    避    雨    处   。 不    久   ， 它    遇    到    了    一    只    狐    狸   ， 狐    狸    问    它   ：" 我    的    好    朋    友   ， 你    怎    么    了   ？ 为    什    么    垂    头    丧    气   ， 一    副    孤    苦    伶    仃   、 愁    眉    苦    脸    的    样    子    呢   ？" 马    叹    了    一    口    气    回    答    说   ：" 哎   --！ 公    正    和    吝    啬    不    能    住    在    一    间    房    子    里   。 我    的    主    人    完    全    忘    了    我    这    许    多    年    为    他    辛    辛    苦    苦    所    干    的    一    切   ， 因    为    我    不    能    再    干    活    了   ， 他    就    把    我    赶    了    出    来   ， 说    除    非    我    变    得    比    一    头    狮    子    更    强    壮   ， 他    才    会    重    新    收    留    我   。 我    有    这    样    的    能    力    吗   ？ 其    实   ， 主    人    是    知    道    我    没    有    这    样    的    能    力    的   ， 要    不    然   ， 他    也    不    会    这    样    说    了   。"

 狐    狸    听    了    之    后   ， 要    它    别    愁    了   ， 只    管    放    心   ， 说    道   ：" 我    来    帮    助    你   ， 你    躺    在    那    儿   ， 把    身    子    伸    直   ， 装    做    死    了    的    样    子   ， 我    自    有    办    法   。" 马    按    狐    狸    的    吩    咐    做    了   。 狐    狸    跑    到    狮    子    住    的    洞    口    边   ， 对    狮    子    说   ：" 狮    子    大    王   ， 有    条    小    路    上    躺    着    一    匹    死    马   ， 我    们    一    同    去   ， 你    可    以    作    一    顿    很    不    错    的    午    餐    来    享    受    哩   。" 狮    子    听    了    非    常    高    兴   ， 立    即    就    动    身    了   。

 它    们    来    到    马    躺    的    地    方   ， 狐    狸    说   ：" 在    这    儿    你    吃    不    完    它   ， 我    告    诉    你    怎    么    办   ： 先    让    我    把    它    的    尾    巴    牢    牢    地    绑    在    你    的    身    上   ， 然    后    你    就    能    够    将    它    拖    回    你    的    洞    穴    去    慢    慢    地    享    用    了   。" 狮    子    对    这    个    建    议    很    欣    赏   。 于    是    它    一    动    不    动    地    躺    下    来   ， 让    狐    狸    把    它    绑    在    马    背    上   。 但    狐    狸    却    设    法    将    它    的    腿    捆    在    一    起   ， 用    最    大    的    力    气    把    狮    子    牢    牢    地    捆    作    一    团   ， 狮    子    没    法    挣    脱    束    缚    了   。

 一    切    料    理    完    毕   ， 狐    狸    拍    了    拍    马    的    肩    背    说    道   ：" 起    来    吧   ！ 老    马    头   ， 你    可    以    走    了   ！" 那    匹    马    跳    起    来   ， 把    狮    子    拖    在    尾    巴    后    面    离    开    了   。 狮    子    知    道    上    了    狐    狸    的    当   ， 开    始    咆    哮    吼    叫    起    来   ， 巨    大    的    吼    声    把    树    上    所    有    的    鸟    儿    都    吓    得    飞    走    了   。|Qī-shu-ωang| 但    老    马    随    便    它    怎    么    叫   ， 只    管    自    己    慢    慢    悠    悠    地    走    过    田    野   ， 终    于    把    狮    子    拖    到    了    主    人    的    屋    里   。

 它    对    主    人    说   ：" 主    人   ， 狮    子    在    这    儿   ， 我    把    它    料    理    妥    当    了   。" 当    主    人    看    见    它    的    这    匹    老    马    后   ， 对    它    产    生    了    怜    悯    之    心   ， 说    道   ：" 你    就    住    在    马    厩    里    吧   ， 我    会    好    好    待    你    的   。" 于    是   ， 这    匹    可    怜    的    老    马    又    有    了    吃    的    东    西   ， 主    人    一    直    供    养    它    到    死    去   。
