驴子和他的影子
The Ass and His Shadow
行人雇了一头驴子去一个很远的地方。天气热极了，太阳热辣辣地照在人身上，行人决定停下来休息。他很快就发现驴子的影子是个凉快的地方。可是，驴子在地上的影子只能站一个人，因此行人和驴子的主人就因谁有权利占有驴子影子的问题而大肆争吵起来。后来，争吵演变为打斗。就在双方大打出手的时候，驴子乘机挣脱缰绳逃走了。
猴子捞月一场空。
A Traveler hired an Ass to convey him to a distant place. The day being intensely hot，and the sun shining in its strength，the Traveler stopped to rest，and sought shelter from the heat under the Shadow of the Ass. As this afforded only protection for one，and as the Traveler and the owner of the Ass both claimed it，a violent dispute arose between them as to which of them had the right to the Shadow. The owner maintained that he had let the Ass only，and not his Shadow. The Traveler asserted that he had，with the hire of the Ass，hired his Shadow also. The quarrel proceeded from words to blows，and while the men fought，the Ass galloped off.
