A MAN and a Lion traveled together through the forest.

They soon began to boast of their respective superiority to each other in strength and prowess.

As they were disputing, they passed a statue carved in stone, which represented "a Lion strangled by a Man.

" The traveler pointed to it and said: "See there!

How strong we are, and how we prevail over even the king of beasts.

" The Lion replied: "This statue was made by one of you men.

If we Lions knew how to erect statues, you would see the Man placed under the paw of the Lion.

" One story is good, till another is told.

有一天，狮子与人同行赶路，他们互相吹嘘自己。

在路上，他们看见一块石碑，石碑上刻着一个人征服几头狮子的图画。

那人一边指给狮子看，一边说：你看，事实证明我们比你们强得多了吧。

”狮子笑着说道：如果狮子们会雕刻，那么你就会看见众多人倒在狮子脚下。

” 这故事是说，那些自己毫无本事的人却喜欢常常在别人面前炫耀自己。
