The wolf and the fox want to eat the rabbit, but it wasn't easy to catch him.

　　One day the wolf says to the fox, "You go home and lie1 in bed. I'll tell the rabbit that you are dead2. When he comes to look at you, you can jump up and catch him." That's a good idea," says the fox.

　　The fox goes home at once. The wolf goes to the rabbit's house and knocked3 at the door. "Who is it?" asks the rabbit. "It's the wolf. I come to tell you that the fox is dead." Then the wolf goes away.

　　The rabbit goes to the fox's house. He looked in through the window and sees the fox lying4 in bed with his eyes closed5. He thinks, "Is the fox really dead or is he pretending6 to be dead? If he's not dead, he'll catch me when I go near him." so he said7, "The wolf says that the fox is dead. But he doesn't look like a dead fox. The mouth of a dead fox is always open." When the fox hears this, he thinks, "I'll show him that I'm dead." So he opened his mouth.

　　The rabbit knows that the fox isn't dead, and he rans away quickly.

　　狼和狐貍想要吃掉兔子，但是這只兔子太難抓到了。

　　一天，狼對(duì)狐貍說：“你回家假裝躺在床上。我去告訴兔子你已經(jīng)死了。當(dāng)他來看你的時(shí)候，你就可以跳起來抓住他了。”“真是個(gè)好主意！”狐貍說。

　　于是他立刻回到家。狼去兔子的房前敲了敲門，“是誰啊？”兔子問道。“狼，我是來告訴你狐貍已經(jīng)死了。”說完狼就走開了。

　　兔子去狐貍家看情況。他通過狐貍家的窗戶看到閉著眼睛的狐貍躺在床上。他想，狐貍是真的死了，還是在假裝呢？如果他沒有死，那么我走近他就會(huì)被他抓住。于是他說：“狼說狐貍死了。但是他看起來并不像死掉了呀。死去的狐貍通常都是張著嘴的。”狐貍聽到這些話就想：我得證明自己是真的死了。于是他張開了嘴巴。

　　這時(shí)兔子知道狐貍并沒有死，他就以最快的速度跑開啦。
