When the donkey brayed(叫) , the tiger was frightened, thinking that the donkey was about to devour(吞食，毀滅) it. After a while, seeing that the donkey had not moved, the tiger approached it and teased it. The donkey became angry, and kicked the tiger.
The tiger thought to itself: "Its then all it is capable of?" It then jumped on the donkey and ate it.

過去貴州(黔)這個地方?jīng)]有驢。有個多事的人用船運來了一頭驢，運來后卻沒有什么用處，就把驢放到山腳下。
一只老虎看見了驢，以為這個軀體高大的家伙一定很神奇，就躲在樹林里偷偷觀察著，后來又悄悄走出來，小心翼翼地接近驢，不知道驢子的底細(xì)。
有一天，驢叫了一聲，大虎大吃一驚，遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)躲開，以為驢要咬自己了，非?？謶?。然而，老虎反復(fù)觀察以后，覺得驢并沒有什么特殊本領(lǐng)，而且越來越熟悉驢的叫聲了。老虎開始走到驢的前后，轉(zhuǎn)來轉(zhuǎn)去，還不敢上去攻擊驢。以后，老虎慢慢逼近驢，越來越放肆，或者碰它一下，或者靠它一下，不斷冒犯它。驢非常惱怒，就用蹄子去踢老虎。
老虎心里盤算著：“你的本事也不過如此罷了!”非常高興。于是老虎騰空撲去，大吼一聲，咬斷了驢的喉管，啃完了驢的肉，才離去了。
唉!那驢的軀體高大，好像有德行;聲音洪亮，好像有本事。假如不顯出那有限的本事，老虎雖然兇猛，也會存有疑慮畏懼的心理，終究不敢攻擊它?，F(xiàn)在落得如此下場，不是很可悲嗎?
