鷹和渡鴉 The Eagle and the Raven
The Eagle and the Raven
An eagle was trying to break open a nut in his beak when a raven landed on a
branch beside him. The raven eyed the nut hopefully, "You'll never break it
like that,"he said. "If I were you I would fly up in the sky as high as I
could, then drop the nut onto the rocks. It's the only way you'll get at the
kernel."
The eagle flew up into the sky, then let the nut fall down, down, down to the
ground. The raven hopped quickly from his branch and seized the nut in his
beak. By the time the eagle had found his way back to the right place, all
that was left was a broken piece of shell.

鷹和渡鴉
正當鷹試圖弄開它嘴中的堅果時，一只渡鴉停在了他旁邊的樹干上。渡鴉貪婪地看著堅果，“你這樣永遠也弄不開它，”他說。“如果我是你，我就會盡我所能，飛向高空，然后讓堅果掉在石頭上。這是得到果實的唯一辦法。”
鷹飛向空中，然后讓堅果落下，落下，落到地面。渡鴉飛快地跳離樹干，叼住了堅果。當鷹尋舊路折回時，地上只剩下一些破碎的果殼了。
