No sooner did the Lion see this than he fell upon them one by one and killed them in turn.

사자는 이것을 보자마자 그들에게 하나씩 달려들어 차례로 죽였습니다.

The quarrels of friends are the opportunities of foes.

친구들의 다툼은 적들의 기회입니다.

THE HORSE AND HIS RIDER

말과 기수

A Young Man, who fancied himself something of a horseman, mounted a Horse which had not been properly broken in, and was exceedingly difficult to control.

자신이 어느 정도 승마를 잘 한다고 생각한 한 젊은이가, 제대로 길들여지지 않아 다루기가 매우 어려운 말에 올라탔습니다.

No sooner did the Horse feel his weight in the saddle than he bolted, and nothing would stop him.

말은 안장에 그의 무게가 실리자마자 내달리기 시작했고, 아무것도 그를 멈출 수 없었습니다.

A friend of the Rider's met him in the road in his headlong career, and called out, "Where are you off to in such a hurry?"

기수의 친구가 그가 질주하는 길에서 그를 만나 소리쳤습니다. "그렇게 급히 어디를 가는 거야?"

To which he, pointing to the Horse, replied, "I've no idea: ask him."

그러자 그는 말을 가리키며 대답했습니다. "나도 모르겠어요. 저 말에게 물어보세요."

THE GOAT AND THE VINE

염소와 포도나무

A Goat was straying in a vineyard, and began to browse on the tender shoots of a Vine which bore several fine bunches of grapes.

한 염소가 포도밭을 돌아다니다가, 여러 송이의 탐스러운 포도가 달린 포도나무의 연한 새순을 뜯어먹기 시작했습니다.

"What have I done to you," said the Vine, "that you should harm me thus?

"내가 당신에게 무슨 짓을 했기에," 포도나무가 말했습니다, "이렇게 나를 해치는 건가요?

Isn't there grass enough for you to feed on?

당신이 먹을 풀이 충분하지 않나요?

All the same, even if you eat up every leaf I have, and leave me quite bare, I shall produce wine enough to pour over you when you are led to the altar to be sacrificed."

그렇더라도, 당신이 내 잎을 모두 먹어치워 나를 완전히 앙상하게 만들더라도, 나는 당신이 제단에 끌려가 제물로 바쳐질 때 당신에게 부을 만큼 충분한 포도주를 만들어낼 것입니다."

THE TWO POTS

두 개의 항아리

Two Pots, one of earthenware and the other of brass, were carried away down a river in flood.

홍수로 불어난 강에서 두 개의 항아리가 떠내려갔는데, 하나는 토기로 만들어졌고 다른 하나는 놋쇠로 만들어진 것이었습니다.

The Brazen Pot urged his companion to keep close by his side, and he would protect him.

놋쇠 항아리는 동료에게 자기 곁에 바짝 붙어 있으라고 권하며, 자신이 그를 보호해 주겠다고 했습니다.
