（狐狸此时恰好路过，老虎猛扑上去把她抓住。）
Tiger: Got you!

狐狸：等一下！陛下，我有一个秘密要告诉你。
Tiger: What is it?

狐狸：其实我是上帝派下来管理所有其他动物的 。如果你吃了我，你会被上帝惩罚的。
Tiger: What are you talking about?
老虎：你在说什么呢？
Fox: If you don't believe me, I'll show you. You can follow me around and see if the other animals are running for life when they see me.
狐狸：如果你不信的话，我可以证明给你看。你跟着我到处走走，看看其他动物看到我是不是会赶紧逃命。

（老虎的心理活动）

Crow：Oh, that's my brother, the clever one in the family.
