伊索寓言故事：斑鳩與人(中英版)

The Partridge and the Fowler

A FOWLER caught a Partridge and was about to kill it. The Partridge earnestly begged him to spare his life, saying, "Pray, master, permit me to live and I will entice many Partridges to you in recompense for your mercy to me." The Fowler replied, "I shall now with less scruple take your life, because you are willing to save it at the cost of betraying your friends and relations."

斑鳩與人

故事寓意：那些用陰謀詭計加害親人的人，必將先得到正義的懲罰。
