A lion and a bear pounced upon a fawn at the same time and had a long ,grueling fight over it.The struggle was so hard and even that both them eventually lay half-blinded and half-dead on the ground without enough strength to touch the prize that was stretched out between them.A fox,who had gone round them at a distance several times,saw how helpless they were,and he stepped in between the combatants and scampered off with the booty.
"What miserable creature we are!"the lion and the bear cried."We've knocked ourselves out and destroyed one another merely to give a rogue a dinner."
Sometimes one man's toil is another man's profit.
一只狮子和一只熊同时扑到一只小鹿身上，为它进行了一场漫长而艰苦的搏斗。搏斗是如此的艰难，以至于它们最终都半瞎半死地躺在地上，没有足够的力量去触碰它们之间躺着的小鹿尸体。一只狐狸在远处绕了几圈，他看到狮子和熊是多么无助，就介入他们之间的争夺，带着他们的战利品逃走了。
“我们真是个可怜虫！”狮子和熊喊道：“我们把自己打得筋疲力尽，互相残杀，只不过是为了给一个恶棍一顿饭。”
鹬蚌相争，渔翁得利。
