The hungry fox who got caught in the tree trunk | 困在樹幹裡的飢餓狐狸
Once upon a time, there was a hungry fox that was looking for something to eat. He was very hungry. No matter how hard he tried, the fox could not find food. Finally he went to the edge of the forest and searched there for food. Suddenly he caught sight of a big tree with a hole in it.
從前，有一隻飢餓的狐狸在找吃的。他很餓。不管他怎麼努力，狐狸都找不到食物。最後他走到森林的邊緣，在那裡尋找食物。突然，他看見一棵樹上有一個洞。
Inside the hole was a package. The hungry fox immediately thought that there might be food in it, and became very happy. He jumped into the hole. When he opened the package, he saw slices of bread, meat and fruit in it!
洞裡有一個包裹。狐狸立刻想到裡面沒準兒裝有食物，於是馬上高興起來。他跳進洞裡，打開包裝，果然裡面裝有面包片、肉和水果！
An old woodcutter had placed the food in the tree trunk before he began to cut down trees in the forest. He was going to eat it for his lunch.
一位老樵夫在開工之前，把食物放在樹幹裡，打算把它們當做午餐。
The fox happily began to eat. After he finished eating, he felt thirsty and decided to leave the hole and drink some water from a nearby spring. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not get out of the hole. Do you know why? Yes, the fox had eaten so much food that he became too big to fit through the hole!
狐狸高高興興地開始享用這些美餐，吃完後，他覺得有點口渴，於是想離開洞去附近泉水喝點兒水。然而，無論他多麼努力，他都無法走出這個洞。你知道為什麼嗎？是的，狐狸吃了太多的食物，以至於它變得太大了，無法穿過這個樹洞！
The fox was very sad and upset. He told himself, “I wish I had thought a little before jumping into the hole.”
狐狸非常傷心和難過。他自言自語道：“我要是在跳進洞裡之前能想一想就好了。”
Yes children, this is the result of doing something without thinking about it first.
所以，孩子們，這是做事之前不考慮清楚的後果。
