Bragging ，lying，and pretending，has cost many a man his life and estate.
螃蟹和狐狸
The Crab and the Fox
螃蟹离开海边，到附近的岸上选择了一块草地作为自己的新家。饥肠辘辘的狐狸恰好路过，看到后就一把抓住了螃蟹，想用他来充饥。螃蟹意识到自己命不久矣，哀伤地说：“这真是我应有的报应啊！我为什么要违背大自然的规律，离开海边到不适合我的陆地上生活呢？”
知足者常乐。
A Crab，forsaking the seashore，chose a neighboring green meadow as its feeding ground. A Fox came across him，and being very hungry ate him up. Just as he was on the point of being eaten，the Crab said，“I well deserve my fate，for what business had I on the land，when by my nature and habits I am only adapted for the sea？”
