伊索寓言：老猎狗
The Old Hound
A HOUND, who in the days of his youth and strength had never yielded to any beast of the forest, encountered in his old age a boar in the chase. He seized him boldly by the ear, but could not retain his hold because of the decay of his teeth, so that the boar escaped. His master, quickly coming up, was very much disappointed, and fiercely abused the dog. The Hound looked up and said, "It was not my fault. master: my spirit was as good as ever, but I could not help my infirmities. I rather deserve to be praised for what I have been, than to be blamed for what I am."
老猎狗
一条老猎狗年轻力壮时从未向森林中任何野兽屈服过，年老后，在一次狩猎中，遇到一头野猪，他勇敢地扑上去咬住野猪的耳朵。由於他的牙齿老化无力，不能牢牢地咬住，野猪逃跑了。主人跑过来后大失所望，痛骂他一顿。年老的猎狗抬起头来说：「主人啊！这不能怪我不行。我的勇敢精神和年轻时是一样的，但我不能抗拒自然规律。从前我的行为受到了你的称 ，现在也不应受到你的责备。」
这个故事带出的启示就是：生老病死是不可抗拒的自然规律。
