TheBat and the Weasels

A bat who fellupon the ground and was caught by a weasel pleaded to be spared his life. The weaselrefused, saying that he was by nature the enemy of all birds. The bat assuredhim that he was not a bird, but a mouse, and thus was set free. Shortlyafterwards the bat again fell to the ground and was caught by another weasel,whom he likewise entreated not to eat him. The weasel said that he had aspecial hostility to mice. The bat assured him that he was not a mouse, but abat, and thus a second time escaped.

It is wise to turn circumstances to goodaccount.

蝙蝠與黃鼠狼

蝙蝠掉落在地上，被黃鼠狼叼去，他請求饒命。黃鼠狼說絕不會放過他，自己生來痛恨 鳥類。蝙蝠說他是老鼠，不是鳥，便被放了。后來蝙蝠又掉落了下來，被另一只黃鼠狼叼 住，他再三請求不要吃他。這只黃鼠狼說他恨一切鼠類。蝙蝠改口說自己是鳥類，并非老 鼠，又被放了。這樣，蝙蝠兩次改變了自己的名字，終于死里逃生。

這故事說明，我們遇事要隨機應(yīng)變方能避免危險。
