从前,有个森林里住着一只大狮子。
有一天,他忽然觉得自己的嘴巴很臭,就叫来了一只羊,问他:“你能闻到我嘴里发出的臭味吗?”
羊诚实地说:“能闻到。”
于是,狮子生气地咬掉了他的头。
接着,狮子又叫来了狼,问他同样的问题。
狼害怕狮子会生气,就说:“闻不到。”
可是,狮子还是不高兴,把狼咬得鲜血淋漓。
最后,狐狸被召来了。
他也被问了同样的问题。
但是,狐狸很聪明,他知道狮子正在发脾气,所以他想了想说:“大王,我感冒了,闻不到什么味道。”
这个故事告诉我们一个道理:有时候,模棱两可、暧昧含糊的回答可以让我们避免一些麻烦。
Once upon a time, there was a big lion living in a forest.
One day, he suddenly felt that his mouth was very smelly, so he called over a sheep and asked him, "Can you smell the stench coming from my mouth?"
The honest sheep replied, "Yes, I can smell it."
So, the lion angrily bit off his head.
Then, the lion called over the wolf and asked him the same question.
The wolf, afraid of the lion's anger, said, "I can't smell anything."
But, the lion was still unhappy and bit the wolf until he was bleeding.
Finally, the fox was summoned.
He was also asked the same question.
However, the fox was very clever. He knew that the lion was in a bad mood, so he thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I have a cold and can't smell anything."
This story teaches us a lesson: Sometimes, ambiguous and vague answers can help us avoid some trouble.
