鹰和狐狸商量好做邻居,鹰在树上做窝,狐狸在树下做窝。
An eagle and a fox agreed to be neighbours, she nested above, he below.
一天狐狸出去找吃的,鹰没有食物,就飞下来抓走了小狐狸,喂了自己的小鹰。
One day while the fox was out hunting, the starving eagle snatched the fox cubs and fed them to her chicks.
狐狸回来哭着说:你怎么能害我的孩子?鹰说:孩子饿了,没有办法。
The fox returned weeping: how could you hurt my children? The eagle said: mine were hungry, I had no choice.
狐狸不会飞,报不了仇。每天他对着鹰的窝诅咒。后来鹰从祭坛上叼来一块带火的肉,火星落到窝里,小鹰掉下来,狐狸当着鹰的面把小鹰吃了。骗朋友的人,早晚要还。
The flightless fox could only curse the nest daily. Later the eagle carried altar meat with live sparks into her nest; the chicks fell burning, and the fox ate them before her eyes. Those who betray friends repay eventually.
