[이솝우화] 여우와 사자 🦊 THE FOX AND THE LION 🦊 キツネとライオン

 

한 번도 사자를 본 적이 없던 여우가 어느 날 사자를 처음 만나게 되었는데, 너무 무서워서 당장이라도 죽을 지경이었다.

그 후 시간이 지나 두 번째로 사자를 다시 만났을 때, 여전히 무서웠지만 처음만큼은 아니었다.

그리고 세 번째 만났을 때에는 더 이상 무서워하지 않고 마치 평생 친구였던 것처럼 다가가 말을 걸었다.

📘 교훈:
처음엔 두렵던 것도 자주 접하면 익숙해진다.

THE FOX AND THE LION

A Fox who had never seen a Lion one day met one, and was so terrified at the sight of him that he was ready to die with fear. 

After a time he met him again, and was still rather frightened, but not nearly so much as he had been when he met him first. 

But when he saw him for the third time he was so far from being afraid that he went up to him and began to talk to him as if he had known him all his life.

キツネとライオン  🦊

ライオンを一度も見たことがなかったキツネが、ある日ライオンに出会った。
その姿を見たキツネは、恐怖のあまり死にそうになった。

しばらくして再びライオンに会ったとき、まだ少し怖かったが、最初ほどではなかった。

三度目に出会ったときには、まったく怖がる様子もなく、まるで昔からの友人のように話しかけた。

📘教訓:
最初は怖かったことも、何度も経験すれば慣れてくる。
