有隻鹿受到了猎犬的追捕，拼命地逃进一个洞裡寻求庇护。他希望这是一个安全的地方，可以躲避猎犬。不幸的是，这个洞裡有一隻狮子，轻易地就抓获了鹿。鹿临死之前说：“我真是倒楣，刚脱离了猎犬的追捕，马上又掉进了狮子的大口。”

THE STAG AND THE LION

A Stag was chased by the hounds, and took refuge in a cave where he hoped to be safe from his pursuers. Unfortunately, the cave contained a Lion, to whom he fell easy prey.“Unhappy that I am, ” he cried, “I am saved from the power of the dogs only to fall into the clutches of a Lion.”

Out of the frying pan into the fire.
