The old Lion 老狮子
The Lion used to be the king of beasts. But now he is old and weak. He feels sorry for himself.
从前有只狮子，他曾经是百兽之王。可是现在却又老又弱。他觉得自己很可怜。
Lion: I used to be so young. I used to be so strong. My roar used to be so big. But now… I am old and weak. My roar is small. I can’t run. I can’t hunt. Poor me!
狮子：想当年我多么年轻，多么强壮。我的吼声曾经震耳欲聋，可是现在…我又老又弱，我的吼声也没有了威力。我不能跑，也抓不住猎物。唉，我真可怜啊。
The Lion is very sad and worried.

Lion: I’m hungry. But now how can I get some food? I must think of a way fast. Let me think.

The Lion thinks and thinks. Finally, he comes up with an idea.
狮子想啊想啊。终于，他想出了一个主意。
Lion: Hey, wait. I still have my sharp teeth and claws. I can use them. Once an animal comes into my cave, I can catch it. Yes, that’s it! I’ll say I’m very sick. Then all of the animals will come to visit me. Once they come into my cave, I will eat them all. What a clever idea! Why didn’t I think of this before? Ha, ha, ha.
狮子：嘿，等一等。我的爪子和牙齿依然锋利。我可以用它们啊。一旦有动物来到我的洞穴里，我就可以抓住它。对，就这么办！我不妨说我病得很重，这样所有的动物都会来探望我。一旦他们走进我的洞穴，我就把他们全吃掉。多么聪明的点子啊！为什么以前我就没想到呢？哈哈哈…
