A Bat falling upon the ground was caught by a Weasel, of whom he earnestly besought his life. The Weasel refused, saying that he was by nature the enemy of all birds.

#

The Bat assured him that he was not a bird, but a mouse, and thus saved his life. #

Shortly afterwards the Bat again fell on the ground, and was caught by another Weasel, whom he likewise entreated not to eat him. The Weasel said that he had a special hostility to mice. #

The Bat assured him that he was not a mouse, but a bat; and thus a second time escaped.

#

It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.

#

蝙蝠连忙辩解，说自己并不是鸟，而是老鼠，这才保住了性命。

#

没过多久，蝙蝠又一次跌落在地，这回又被另一只黄鼠狼捉住了。它依旧苦苦求饶。那只黄鼠狼却说，自己一向特别痛恨老鼠。 #

蝙蝠赶紧改口，说自己既不是老鼠，而是蝙蝠。就这样，它第二次逃过一劫。

#

人要懂得随机应变，才能把不利的处境转为有利。
