【参考译文】
一只不走运的狐狸,失足掉到了井里。井很深,他无法跳出来。
一只山羊经过这里,便问狐狸在井下做什么。狐狸说:“哦,你没有听说吗?这里将要大旱,因此我跳进来取水,为什么你不下来一起喝呢?”
山羊相信了狐狸的话,就真的跳进井里。
狐狸立即跳上山羊的背,又一跳,跳上了井沿。
“再见,朋友,”狐狸说,“记住,不要相信一个身陷麻烦的人的建议。”
寓意: 处于困境之中的人为了摆脱困境,往往不惜牺牲别人的利益,所以他们的建议常常是不可信的。

一头长得非常雄壮的公羊的头上,挺立着一对粗大的犄角。
公羊骄傲地踱着步,看见前面有一道竹木编成的篱笆挡住了它的去路。公羊斜着眼睛看看,便弯下脖子呼的一声撞上去,想把篱笆撞倒。结果篱笆纹丝不动,它反把自己的犄角碰伤了。
假如公羊没有碰伤犄角的话,那么它还会一个劲儿地撞下去,甚至向车轮的辐条上撞去,直到头破血流为止。
结果呢?公羊的犄角被篱笆夹住,进也不得,退也不得,只能“咩咩”不停地叫唤。
