伊索寓言：獅子和海豚
The Lion and the Dolphin
A LION roaming by the seashore saw a Dolphin lift up its head out of the waves, and suggested that they contract an alliance, saying that of all the animals they ought to be the best friends, since the one was the king of beasts on the earth, and the other was the sovereign ruler of all the inhabitants of the ocean. The Dolphin gladly consented to this request. Not long afterwards the Lion had a combat with a wild bull, and called on the Dolphin to help him. The Dolphin, though quite willing to give him assistance, was unable to do so, as he could not by any means reach the land. The Lion abused him as a traitor. The Dolphin replied, "Nay, my friend, blame not me, but Nature, which, while giving me the sovereignty of the sea, has quite denied me the power of living upon the land."
獅子和海豚
獅子在海灘上游蕩，看見海豚躍出水面，便勸他與自己結為同盟，說他們是一對最好的搭擋，因為一個是海中動物之王，一個是陸地獸中之王。海豚立即高興地答應了。不久，獅子和野牛展開了一場生死搏殺，他請求海豚助他一臂之力。盡管海豚想出海助戰，卻辦不到。獅子指責他背信棄義。他回答說：「不要責備我，去責備自然吧！因為它讓我成為海里的動物，不許上陸地呀！」
這個故事帶出的啟示就是：我們結交盟友，應當選擇那些能共患難的人。
