伊索寓言：The Bat and the Weaselsa 蝙蝠和鼠狼
bat falling upon the ground was caught by a weasel, ofwhom he earnestly besought his life. the weasel refused,saying, that he was by nature the enemy of all birds. thebat assured him that he was not a bird, but a mouse, andthus saved his life.
shortly afterwards the bat again fellon the ground, and was carght by another weasel, whom helikewise entreated not to eat him. the weasel said that hehad a special hostility to mice. the bat assured him thathe was not a mouse, but a bat; and thus a second timeescaped.it is wise to turn circumstances to good account.
一只蝙蝠墜落到地面上來，被一只鼠狼捉住了，蝙蝠哀求討?zhàn)垺Ｊ罄遣淮饝?yīng)，說它自己最愛和鳥類為敵。蝙蝠便證明它自己不是鳥，只是一只老鼠，因此鼠狼就放了它。
不久這只蝙蝠又墜落到地上來，被另一只鼠狼捉住，它同樣地哀求討?zhàn)?。那鼠狼說它自己最恨老鼠，蝙蝠證明自己并不是老鼠，而是一只蝙蝠；因此，它第二次又安然地逃離危險(xiǎn)了。隨機(jī)應(yīng)變乃聰明之舉。
