They replied, "The dew." The Ass resolved that he would only live upon dew, and in a short time died of hunger.
一隻驢聽到幾隻蚱蜢在叫,便覺得很有趣;於是也想得到同樣有趣的音調,便問蚱蜢吃什麼東西過活,以致於能有這樣優美的聲音。蚱蜢說:「露水。」驢子聽了,從此以後也單吃露水過活,不久便餓死了。

he next unclosed the faggot, and took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into their hands, on which they broke them easily. he then addressed them in these words: "my sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as
easily as these sticks."
