The Bat and the Weasels蝙蝠與黃鼠狼

A BAT who fell upon the ground and was caught by a Weasel pleaded to be spared his life. The Weasel refused, saying that he was by nature the enemy of all birds. The Bat assured him that he was not a bird, but a mouse, and thus was set free. Shortly afterwards the Bat again fell to the ground and was caught by another Weasel, whom he likewise entreated not to eat him_ The Weasel said that he had a special hostility to mice. The Bat assured him that he was not a mouse, but a bat, and thus a second time escaped.

It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.

蝙蝠掉落在地上，被黃鼠狼叼去，他請(qǐng)求饒命。黃鼠狼說絕不會(huì)放過他，自己生來痛恨鳥類。蝙蝠說他是老鼠，不是鳥，便被放了。后來蝙蝠又掉落了下來，被另一只黃鼠狼叼住，他再三請(qǐng)求不要吃他。這只黃鼠狼說他恨一切鼠類。蝙蝠改口說自己是鳥類，并非老 鼠，又被放了。這樣，蝙蝠兩次改變了自己的名字，終于死里逃生。

這故事說明，我們遇事要隨機(jī)應(yīng)變方能避免危險(xiǎn)。
