The lion and the jackal
(Originally In English)
There is a story about a jackal who was going to be
eaten by a lion. The jackal said to the lion: "No, please,
you can't eat me! You can't eat me! This will be a great
mistake. If you eat me, that'll be terrible, that will be a
disaster, that will be the end of the world!"
The lion was very puzzled and said: "How come? How
come if I eat you, the world will end?" The jackal said:
"Because if you eat me, that will be the end of the
world for me!"
有只狼快被狮子吃掉了。狼对狮子说：「求求你不要吃我！你不能吃我，这是一个天大的错误！如果你吃了我，那就惨了，
会有灾难、会世界末日！」
狮子满脸疑惑地问：「为什么把你吃掉就会世界末日？」
狼回答：「如果你吃了我，就是我的世界末日啊！」
