伊索寓言：老狮子
The Old Lion
A LION, worn out with years and powerless from disease, lay on the ground at the point of death. A Boar rushed upon him, and avenged with a stroke of his tusks a long-remembered injury. Shortly afterwards the Bull with his horns gored him as if he were an enemy. When the Ass saw that the huge beast could be assailed with impunity, he let drive at his forehead with his heels. The expiring Lion said, "I have reluctantly brooked the insults of the brave, but to be compelled to endure such treatment from thee, a disgrace to Nature, is indeed to die a double death."
老狮子
一头年老体衰的狮子病得有气无力，奄奄一息地躺在地上。一头野猪冲到他身旁，狠狠地咬他，报复狮子以前对他的伤害。一会儿，一头野牛也用角来顶他，把狮子视为可恨的仇敌。当驴子看到可以对这庞大的野兽为所欲为时，也用他的蹄子用力去踢狮子的头部。这头快要断气的狮子说：「我已勉强忍受了勇者的施暴，但还得含羞忍受你这个小丑的侮辱，真是死不瞑目。」
这个故事带出的启示就是：无论过去多么辉煌，都难以避免辉煌失去后别人的不敬与报复。
