[00:13.07]“Your majesty,” [00:14.69]the doctor said, [00:16.67]“you will get well if you eat the heart of a donkey, [00:19.61]but make sure you take a bath first.” [00:23.79]The lion king was pleased to hear that his illness could be cured. [00:28.91]He then asked his guard, the fox, [00:31.87]to find him a donkey. [00:33.74]The fox soon met one, [00:35.91]and he wanted to trick the donkey into going to the lion king’s den. [00:41.50]“Donkey, [00:42.82]I know a field where there is plenty of fresh, [00:47.08]juicy grass,” [00:48.50]said the fox. [00:50.23]“I can take you there if you like.” [00:53.32]The donkey was so eager to eat such tasty grass [00:58.57]that he readily agreed to follow the fox. [01:01.84]The fox led him into the lion king’s den. [01:06.32]As soon as he saw the donkey, the lion king attacked him, [01:11.35]but he was too weak to kill him. [01:14.21]The donkey at once escaped from the place. [01:18.03]The fox chased after the donkey. [01:20.75]“Donkey, wait! [01:23.06]Why are you running away? [01:25.04]That was the owner of the field [01:27.76]and he was only greeting you. [01:30.60]You have made him very upset.” [01:33.56]The donkey had never before seen a lion, [01:37.71]so he said, [01:38.81]“All right, I’ll come with you, Fox.” [01:43.07]And he followed the fox back to the lion’s den. [01:47.01]This time, the lion king attacked the donkey [01:50.94]with all his strength and managed to kill him. [01:54.45]He did not eat the donkey’s heart immediately [01:57.84]as he wanted to follow his doctor’s advice to take a bath first. [02:02.21]“Fox, guard the dead donkey well,” [02:06.39]said the lion king. [02:08.23]“I have to take a bath first before eating his heart.” [02:12.93]When the lion king had left for his bath, [02:16.45]the fox at once tore out the donkey’s heart and ate it. [02:20.71]“Oh, it’s so delicious!” [02:23.76]he murmured. [02:24.86]Then he sat beside the dead animal as if guarding it. [02:29.23]When the lion returned to eat the donkey’s heart, [02:33.39]he tore up the body and searched for the heart. [02:36.79]Of course he did not find it. [02:39.40]He was very surprised by this. [02:42.23]He turned to the fox and asked, [02:45.09]“Fox, what happened to the donkey’s heart?” [02:48.80]The fox answered, [02:51.22]“Your majesty, this donkey did not have a heart. [02:55.92]If he had possessed a heart, [02:58.09]he would not have come back after escaping [03:01.61]from Your Majesty the first time.” |
