The Fox Borrows the Tiger’s Might
老虎捉到狐狸,狐狸说:天帝令我管百兽,你若不信,跟我走。百兽见虎皆逃,老虎以为怕狐狸。其实百兽怕的是虎。讽刺借他人权势吓唬人。
A tiger catches a fox. The fox claims Heaven appointed it to rule beasts—follow and see. Animals flee at the tiger’s presence; the tiger thinks they fear the fox. They fear the tiger. A fable against borrowed authority.
看清权威到底来自谁;别被表象的「狐」骗到。
See whose power is real; do not be fooled by the fox in front.
After the moral, ask one question: if a similar choice showed up today, where does the story snag? Name that tension first—then take your own step. You need not copy the ancients, only borrow their clarity.
