伊索寓言：山鹰与狐狸
The Eagle and the Fox
AN EAGLE and a Fox formed an intimate friendship and decided to live near each other.
The Eagle built her nest in the branches of a tall tree, while the Fox crept into the underwood and there produced her young. Not long after they had agreed upon this plan, the Eagle, being in want of provision for her young ones, swooped down while the Fox was out, seized upon one of the little cubs, and feasted herself and her brood. The Fox on her return, discovered what had happened, but was less grieved for the death of her young than for her inability to avenge them. A just retribution, however, quickly fell upon the Eagle. While hovering near an altar, on which some villagers were sacrificing a goat, she suddenly seized a piece of the flesh, and carried it, along with a burning cinder, to her nest. A strong breeze soon fanned the spark into a flame, and the eaglets, as yet unfledged and helpless, were roasted in their nest and dropped down dead at the bottom of the tree. There, in the sight of the Eagle, the Fox gobbled them up.
山鹰与狐狸
山鹰与狐狸互相结为好友，为了彼此的友谊更加巩固，他们决定住在一起。於是鹰飞到一棵高树上面，筑起巢来孵育后代，狐狸则走进树下的灌木丛中间，生儿育女。 有一天，狐狸出去觅食，鹰也正好断了炊，他便飞入灌木丛中，把幼小的狐狸抢走，与雏鹰一起饱餐一顿。狐狸回来后，知道这事是鹰所做，他为儿女的死悲痛，而最令他悲痛的是一时无法报仇，因为他是走兽，只能在地上跑，不能去追逐会飞的鸟。因此他只好远远地站着诅咒敌人，这是力量弱小者唯一可以做到的事情。 不久，鹰的背信弃义的罪行也受到了严惩。有一次，一些人在野外杀羊祭神，鹰飞下去，从祭坛上抓起了带着火的羊肉，带回了自己的巢里。这时候一阵狂风吹了过来，巢里细小乾枯的树枝马上燃起了猛烈的火焰。那些羽毛未丰的雏鹰都被烧死了，并从树上掉了下来。狐狸便跑了过去，在鹰的眼前，把那些小鹰全都吃了。
这个故事带出的启示就是：对於背信弃义的人，即使受害者弱小，不能报复他，可神也会惩治他。
