A sly1 fox tried to trick a rooster into coming down from his perch.
　　 “Brother bird,”the fox said, “come down and have a friendly chat!”
　　 “No!” said the rooster, “I’m sure you’d eat me.”
　　 “Oh, I wouldn’t.” said the crafty2 fox, “Haven’t you heard? Everyone has agreed to live in peace.”
　　 “Is that so?” said the rooster, who was just as crafty.
　　 Stretching3 his neck, the rooster pretended to look at something far off in the distance .
　　 “What are you looking at?” asked the fox curiously .
　　 “Oh...just a pack of hungry fox hounds4heading right this way.”
　　 Upon hearing this, the fox trembled in his tracks and ran off.
　　 “Come back!” cried the rooster, “Why are you running away? I thought you had said that everyone had agreed to live in peace.”
　　 “Well, perhaps those hungry hounds haven’t heard about it yet!” said the fox,and he bounded away.
　　Everyone Agrees to Peace
　　人人都赞同和平
　　一只狡猾的狐狸想把一只公鸡从栖息的树枝上骗下来。
　　“公鸡兄弟，”狐狸说，“下来，我们好好地聊一聊吧。”
　　“不！”公鸡说，“你肯定会吃了我。”
　　“哦，不会的，”狡猾的狐狸说，“你没有听说过吗？每个人都愿意和平地生活。”
　　“真的吗？”公鸡说。它和狐狸一样精明。
　　公鸡伸长脖子，假装看了看远处。
　　“你在看什么？”狐狸好奇地问。
　　“哦，有一群饥饿的猎狗正朝这边跑过来了。”
　　一听到这话，狐狸就吓得直哆嗦，赶快跑开了。
　　“回来！”公鸡叫道，“你为什么跑啊？你不是说每个人都愿意和平地生活吗？”
　　“可能那些饥饿的猎狗还没听过这句话吧！”狐狸说着就拼命地跑开了。
