獅子和鷹
The Lion and the Eagle
鷹叫獅子和它結盟。獅子同意了， 但要求鷹保證能言而有信，因為朋友隨時可能離開。
An Eagle stayed his flight and entreated a Lion to make an alliance with him to their mutual advantage. The Lion replied, “ I have no objection, but you must excuse me for requiring you to find surety for your good faith, for how can I trust anyone as a friend who is able to fly away from his bargain whenever he pleases?”
Try before you trust.
