The Dogs and the Fox

SOME DOGS, finding the skin of a lion, began to tear it in pieces with their teeth. A Fox, seeing them, said, “If this lion were alive, you would soon find out that his claws were stronger than your teeth.”

何匹かのイヌが、ライオンの皮を見つけて、歯でずたずたに引き裂き始めた。それを見たキツネが言った。「もしこのライオンが生きていたら、おまえたちの歯より、こいつの爪のほうがずっと強いってことを、すぐに思い知らされただろうよ。」

It is easy to kick a man that is down.

倒れた者を蹴るのはたやすい。
