A Donkey is walking through the forest one day. He is feeling sad because the other animals always tease him.

驴：我看起来太弱不禁风了。狮子那么地强壮。我要是只狮子就好了。然后其他动物也不敢取笑我了。
The Donkey keeps talking to himself while walking. Then he steps on something. He stops to look.
驴边走边自言自语。然后他踩上一团东西。他停下来细细观察。
Donkey: Oh my goodness! It's a Lion! Please don't kill me, Mr. Lion. My meat is no good. I will be your slave. Please! Please! Please! Just this once, don't kill me!
驴：噢，天哪！狮子先生，请不要杀我。我的肉不好吃。我会成为你的奴仆。拜托!拜托!拜托!就饶我这一次吧，不要杀了我！
The Donkey closes his eyes in fright and is shaking all over. But there is no answer from the Lion. The Donkey becomes curious and carefully opens his eyes. The Lion is still there, but it does not move at all. The Donkey steps closer to the Lion.
驴子吓得闭上眼睛，浑身发抖。但是狮子没有吭声。驴很好奇，定睛一看。狮子还是在那里，但它一动不动。于是驴慢慢地靠近狮子。
