THE SICK STAG
A Stag fell sick and lay in a clearing in the forest, too weak to move from the spot.When the news of his illness spread, a number of the other beasts came to inquire after his health, and they one and all nibbled a little of the grass that grew round the invalid till at last there was not a blade within his reach.
当他生病的消息传开后，许多其他的野兽都来询问他的健康状况，它们一起啃食了病人周围生长的一点草，直到最后他再也没有刀片可及。
In a few days he began to mend, but was still too feeble to get up and go in search of fodder; and thus he perished miserably of hunger owing to the thoughtlessness of his friends.
几天后，他开始好转，但仍然太虚弱，无法起身去寻找草料。就这样，由于他的朋友们的疏忽，他惨遭饥饿而死。
