伊索寓言：狮子和海豚
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."
狮子和海豚
狮子在海滩上游荡，看见海豚跃出水面，便劝他与自己结为同盟，说他们是一对最好的搭挡，因为一个是海中动物之王，一个是陆地兽中之王。海豚立即高兴地答应了。不久，狮子和野牛展开了一场生死搏杀，他请求海豚助他一臂之力。尽管海豚想出海助战，却办不到。狮子指责他背信弃义。他回答说：「不要责备我，去责备自然吧！因为它让我成为海里的动物，不许上陆地呀！」
这个故事带出的启示就是：我们结交盟友，应当选择那些能共患难的人。
