场景1 在树林里。
Narrator: The wolf and the fox wanted to eat the rabbit, but it wasn’t easy to catch. One day the wolf said to the fox…
旁白：狼和狐狸想吃掉兔子，但是又不着捉不到他，有一天狼就来找狐狸商量……
Wolf：You go home and lie in bed. I’ll tell the rabbit that you are dead. When he comes to look, jump out and catch him.
狼：你回家躺在床上装死，我去告诉兔子你死了。当他去你家看你时，你就跳起来捉住他。
Fox: That’s a good idea.
狐狸：这是个好主意。
Narrator: The wolf went to the rabbit’s house and knocked at the door.
旁白：狼就去了兔子家敲门。
Rabbit: Who is it?
兔子：谁啊？
Wolf: It’s the wolf. I’ve come to tell you that the fox is dead. (说完狼就偷偷溜走了。)
狼：是狼。我来告诉你狐狸死了。
场景2: 狐狸的小木房子外面
Narrator: Rabbit then went to the fox’s house. He looked in though the window and saw the fox lying in bed with his eyes closed.
旁白：兔子来到狐狸的房子，从窗子向里边望，他看见狐狸闭着眼睛躺在床上。
Rabbit: (对着观众疑惑地说)Is the fox really dead? If he is not dead, he’ll catch me when I go near him. （兔子装作自言自语，实为给狐狸听） The wolf says that the fox is dead, but he doesn’t look like a dead fox. The mouth of a dead fox is always open.
兔子：狐狸真的死了吗？如果他没有死，当我走近他时，他就会抓住我。狼说狐狸死了，但是他看起来并不像死狐狸，死狐狸的嘴巴通常是张着的。
Narrator: When the fox heard this, he thought…
旁白：当狐狸听到这话，他想......
Fox: I’ll show him I’m dead. (于是张大了他的嘴巴)。
狐狸：我得让他看到我是死的。
Narrator: The rabbit knew that the fox wasn’t dead; and he ran away immediately.
旁白：兔子一看就知道狐狸是在装死，拔腿就跑。
