Mr. Rabbit was a very bad little beast; he was always doing things that made other persons angry and they wanted to catch him. But it was very hard to catch Mr. Rabbit.
One day Mr. Wolf said to Mr. Fox, "We will catch Mr. Rabbit and eat him tonight. You go to your home and get into bed. I shall say that you are dead. Then Mr. Rabbit will come near you to look at you, and you will jump up and catch him."
Mr. Fox ran home and got into bed. Mr. Wolf went to Mr. Rabbit' house. He stood at the door and called, "Mr. Rabbit, Mr. Rabbit."
"What is it?" said Mr. Rabbit.
"Have you heard about poor Mr. Fox? It is so sad!"
"No," said Mr. Rabbit, "I have not heard anything about Mr. Fox."
"He is dead!" said Mr. Wolf.
Mr. Wolf went away. Mr. Rabbit went to Mr.Fox's house to see what he could see. He looked in through the window, and there he saw Mr. Fox on the bed with his eyes shut, looking like a dead fox. Mr. Rabbit thought, "I must see if he is dead or not. For if he is not dead, he will catch me when I go near to him."
Mr. Rabbit went into Mr. Fox's house; he looked at Mr. Fox and said, "Mr. Wolf says that Mr. Fox is dead but he does not look like a dead fox. You can always know if a fox is dead, for dead foxes always open their mouths.
Mr. Fox heard this, and he thought, "I will show him that I am dead." So he opened his mouth.
When Mr. Rabbit saw Mr. Fox open his mouth he knew that Mr. Fox was not dead. Mr. Rabbit jumped up and ran out of the house as quickly as he could.
【译文】
兔子先生是一个很坏的小动物,他总是干出一些惹别人生气的事来,所以他们都要捉拿他。但是,抓住兔子可不是一件容易的事。
有一天,狼先生对狐狸先生说:“今天晚上我们一定要抓住兔子把它吃掉。你回家,钻进被窝里,我说你死了,当兔子靠近你的时候,你窜出来把它抓住。”
狐狸跑回家,钻进被窝里。狼去了兔子家,他站在门口喊:“兔子先生,兔子先生。”
“什么事呀?”兔子问。
“你听说可怜的狐狸了吗?真是太惨了!”
“没有,”兔子说,“狐狸先生的事我什么也没听说。”
“他死了!”狼说。
狼走了。兔子就到狐狸家去看看是怎么一回事。他从窗户望进去,看到狐狸躺在床上闭着眼睛,看上去就象是一只死狐狸,兔子想:“我必须弄明白他是否死了,要是他没有死,当我走近他时,他就会抓住我。”
兔子进了狐狸的屋子,他看看狐狸说:“狼先生说狐狸先生死了,但是,他看上去不象一只死狐狸,谁都会知道狐狸死的样子,因为死的狐狸总是张着嘴。”
狐狸听到这些话,他想:“我一定得让他看到我是死的。”于是他张开嘴。
当兔先生看到狐狸张开嘴时,他知道狐狸没有死。兔子先生蹦起来就跑,尽快地跑出了屋子。
