一頭豹不小心掉進了一個陷阱裏,有些牧羊人路過看見了,不僅沒有幫他擺脫困境,反而用木棍和石頭打他。但也有很多好心的村民給豹子一些食物,幫助他延長生命。晚上,牧羊人回家了,恢複體力的豹子從陷阱裏跳出來跑掉了。
豹子在家中休養了幾天,等恢複元氣之後,就跑到牧羊人所在的村子把攻擊過他的牧羊人全都殺死了,還咬死很多羊。其餘的村民非常害怕,就主動把自家的羊送到豹子麵前,乞求他隻把羊吃掉,而不要傷害他們的性命。豹子回答道: “我是恩怨分明的,誰攻擊我,誰給我食物,我心裏記得很清楚。你們不用擔心,我隻報複傷害過我的人。 ”
傷害才會產生敵意。

Enemies are made by injury not kindness.
