A fox was run after by a hunter(猎人),and luckily he met a woodcutter. The fox begged(请求)him to 1 him a good place to hide (藏)in. He promised that he would thank him 2 his help.
The woodcutter seemed quiet 3. He looked around quietly and advised him to hide in his own house, so the fox ran in and hid 4 in a good place. There was a hole on the wall of the house. So the fox could see what happened outside 5.
The hunter6came up with his dogs. He noticed the woodcutter and asked him: "Did you see a fox?" The woodcutter said: "No". But he 7pointed to the house, all the time he was speaking. His two 8 also turned to the place, because the fox was hiding there. However, the hunter took no notice of his eyeballs, but 9 his words. He went on to catch the fox.
As soon as they were well 10, the fox came out from the house. He left away without taking11 notice of the woodcutter. The woodcutter called to him and criticized(批评) him, saying, "You 12 fellow, you owe (欠)your life to me. But you leave me without a word of 13."
The Fox answered, "Indeed, I should have thanked you a lot, if your14were as good as your words, and if your eyeballs weren't against your speech."
True enough, Kindness 15be in keeping with actions and words. What we said and what we do should go hand in hand.
