百喻經之九三: 老母捉熊喻
§93 老母捉熊喻
(93) the old woman caught a bear
昔有一老母,在樹下臥。熊欲來搏,爾時老母,繞樹走避,熊尋后逐,一手抱樹,欲捉老母。老母得急,即時合樹,捺熊兩手,熊不得動。更有異人來至其所,老母語言:“汝共我捉,殺分其肉?!?/p>
once upon a time, there was an old woman who was resting under a tree when a bear came to attack her. she ran around the tree trying to get away, while the bear held the tree with one hand and tried to grasp her with the other. thus hard pressed, the woman quickly hugged the tree and held fast the bear's two claws so that the bear could not move. then a stranger came up to the spot. the old woman called out, "let's catch and kill the bear together. we'll share its meat."
時彼人者,信老母語,即時共捉。既捉之已,老母即便舍熊而走。其人后為熊所困。如是愚人,為世所笑。
