熊、狐狸和负鼠一起遇到了洪水的袭击。“死神偏爱胆小鬼。”熊说完就挺身上前，跟洪水斗争。“真傻!”狐狸说，“我有个妙计，比这强一倍。”他溜进了一个有空洞的树桩里。负鼠说：“面对一些邪恶势力，智者既不抗击．也不回避。关键是要了解对手的特征。”说完，负鼠便躺下装死。
A bear,a fox,and an opossum were attacked by an inundation. ＂Death loves a coward,＂said the bear,and went forward to fight the flood. ＂What a fool! ＂said the fox. ＂＇I know a trick worth two of that.＂ And he slipped into a hollow stump. ＂There are malevolent forces,＂said the opossum, ＂Which the wise will neither confront nor avoid. The thing is to know the nature of your antagonist.＂ So saying the opossum lay and pretended to be dead.
