A Lion and a Wild Ass went out hunting together:

狮子和野驴一同出去打猎。

the latter was to run down the prey by his superior speed, and the former would then come up and despatch it.

后者要以超常的速度追上猎物，前者就赶上来把猎物消灭。

They met with great success;

他们取得了巨大的成功;

and when it came to sharing the spoil the Lion divided it all into three equal portions.

当它要分享战利品时，狮子把它分成了三等份。

"I will take the first," said he,

“我要第一份，”他说，

"because I am King of the beasts; I will also take the second, because, as your partner, I am entitled to half of what remains;

“因为我是百兽之王；我还要拿第二份，因为我是你的合作伙伴，有权得到剩下的一半；

and as for the third--well, unless you give it up to me and take yourself off pretty quick, the third, believe me, will make you feel very sorry for yourself!"

至于第三份——好吧，除非你把它交给我，然后赶快跑开。否则你要相信，第三份也会使你感到非常难过的!”

Might makes right.

强权即公理。
