A lion went hunting with a fox, a wolf, and a jackal. 一只狮子和狐狸、狼还有豺一起去打猎。
They worked well as a team, 它们配合得挺默契，
and before long they had caught a large deer. 没过多久就抓到了一头大鹿。
"Now, let's divide it fairly," said the lion. “好了，咱们来公平地分一下吧，”狮子说。
The others cut the meat into four equal parts and waited. 其他几个把肉切成了均等的四份，在一旁候着。
"The first part is mine," said the lion, "because I'm the king. “第一份归我，”狮子说，“因为我是大王。
The second part is mine because I'm the one dividing it. 第二份也归我，因为是我来分肉的。
The third part is mine because I did my share of the hunting. 第三份还是我的，因为打猎时我也出了力。
And as for the fourth part..." 至于这第四份嘛……”
He looked slowly at each of them and showed his teeth. 它慢悠悠地扫视了它们一圈，露出了尖牙。
"Well, I'd like to see which one of you dares to touch it." “我倒要看看，你们谁敢动它一下。”
Nobody did. 谁也没敢动。
The three of them walked away with empty stomachs. 它们三个只能饿着肚子走开了。
You can share the work with the powerful. 你可以和有权有势的人一起干活，
Just don't expect them to share the reward. 但千万别指望他们会跟你分好处。
