A wolf and a fox wanted to eat a rabbit, but it wasn't easy for them to catch him. One day, the wolf said to the fox, "You go home and lie (躺) in bed. I'll tell the rabbit that you are dead. When he comes to your house, you can jump up and catch him." "That's a good idea, "said the fox. Then the fox went home. The wolf went to the rabbit's home and told the rabbit that the fox was dead.
The rabbit went to the fox's house. He looked in through the window and saw the fox. The fox stayed in bed and closed his eyes. He didn't know whether (是否) the fox was dead, so he said, "The fox doesn't look like a dead fox. The mouth of a dead fox is always open." When the fox heard this, he opened his mouth. Then the rabbit ran quickly.
