Opening the reader…
Sang Singa terluka parah oleh tanduk seekor Kambing yang sedang ia mangsa. Ia sangat marah memikirkan bahwa hewan mana pun yang ia pilih sebagai santapan bisa begitu lancang mengenakan benda-benda berbahaya seperti tanduk untuk melukainya saat ia sedang makan.
The Lion had been badly hurt by the horns of a Goat, which he was eating. He was very angry to think that any animal that he chose for a meal, should be so brazen as to wear such dangerous things as horns to scratch him while he ate.
Maka ia memerintahkan agar semua hewan yang bertanduk meninggalkan wilayah kekuasaannya dalam waktu dua puluh empat jam.
So he commanded that all animals with horns should leave his domains within twenty-four hours.
Perintah itu menimbulkan ketakutan luar biasa di antara para binatang. Semua yang bernasib malang memiliki tanduk mulai berkemas dan pergi.
The command struck terror among the beasts. All those who were so unfortunate as to have horns, began to pack up and move out.
Bahkan Kelinci, yang seperti Anda ketahui tidak bertanduk dan karena itu tidak perlu takut pada apa pun, melewati malam yang sangat gelisah, bermimpi buruk tentang Singa yang menakutkan itu.
Even the Hare, who, as you know, has no horns and so had nothing to fear, passed a very restless night, dreaming awful dreams about the fearful Lion.
Dan ketika ia keluar dari liangnya di bawah sinar matahari pagi, lalu melihat bayangan yang terbentuk oleh telinganya yang panjang dan runcing di sana, rasa takut yang luar biasa mencengkeram dirinya.
And when he came out of the warren in the early morning sunshine, and there saw the shadow cast by his long and pointed ears, a terrible fright seized him.
“Selamat tinggal, Tetangga Jangkrik,” serunya. “Aku pergi. Dia pasti akan menganggap telingaku sebagai tanduk, apa pun yang kukatakan.”
“Goodby, neighbor Cricket,” he called. “I’m off. He will certainly make out that my ears are horns, no matter what I say.”
Jangan beri musuh Anda alasan sekecil apa pun untuk menyerang reputasi Anda.
Do not give your enemies the slightest reason to attack your reputation.
Musuh Anda akan memanfaatkan alasan apa pun untuk menyerang Anda.
Your enemies will seize any excuse to attack you.
