A fox was run after by a hunter, and luckily he met a woodcutter. The fox begged (乞求) him to show him a good place to hide in. He promised that he would thank him for his help.
The woodcutter seemed quite peaceful. He looked around quietly and advised him to hide in his own house, so the fox ran in and hid himself in a good place. There was a hole on the wall of the house. So the fox could see what happened outside clearly.
The hunter soon came up with his dogs. He noticed the woodcutter and asked him, “Did you see a fox?” The woodcutter said, “No.” But he still pointed to the house. All the time he was speaking. His two eyeballs also turned to the place, because the fox was hiding there. However, the hunter took no notice of his eyeballs but heard his words. He went on to catch the fox.
As soon as they were away, the fox came out from the house. He left without taking any n
otice of the woodcutter. The woodcutter called him and criticized (批评) him, saying, “You bad fellow, you owe (欠) your life to me. But you leave me without a word of thanks.”
The fox answered, “Indeed, I should have thanked you a lot, if your actions were as good as your words, and if your eyeballs weren’t against your speech.”
True enough, kindness should be in keeping with actions and words. What we say and what we do should go hand in hand.
