the BAT AND THE WEASELSA Bat falling upon the ground was caught by a Weasel, ofwhom he earnestly besought his life.

The Weasel refused,saying, that he was by nature the enemy of all birds.

TheBat assured him that he was not a bird, but a mouse, andthus saved his life.

Shortly afterwards the Bat again fellon the ground, and was carght by another Weasel, whom helikewise entreated not to eat him.

The Weasel said that hehad a special hostility to mice.

The Bat assured him thathe was not a mouse, but a bat; and thus a second timeescaped.

It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.

蝙蝠和鼠狼 一只蝙蝠坠落到地面上来，被一只鼠狼捉住了，蝙蝠哀求讨饶。

鼠狼不答应，说它自己最爱和鸟类为敌。

蝙蝠便证明它自己不是鸟，只是一只老鼠，因此鼠狼就放了它。

不久这只蝙蝠又坠落到地上来，被另一只鼠狼捉住，它同样地哀求讨饶。

那鼠狼说它自己最恨老鼠，蝙蝠证明自己并不是老鼠，而是一只蝙蝠；因此，它第二次又安然地逃离危险了。

随机应变乃聪明之举。
