The Bear and the Fox

A bear used to boast of his excessive love for humankind, saying that he never touched or mauled a human corpse.

The fox observed with a smile, "I would be more impressed by your kindness if you never ate a  human being alive."

We should not wait until a person dies before showing our respect.

一只熊常常以自己对人类的极度友善而自豪，它说它从来没有碰过或者撕咬过一个死人。

狐狸笑着说，“如果你从来没有吃过一个活人，我将对你的善良更加感动。”

我们不应该等到人死了才表现出我们的尊敬。
