一隻螳螂膽子大，
大車來了也不怕，
它高高舉起兩把鉗，
對準車輪猛劈下。
車子高高輪巨大，
車輪滾滾朝前軋，
無奈螳臂太脆弱，
一下壓成了爛泥巴。
大膽狂妄的小螳螂，
給世界留下個大笑話。
不自量力太愚蠢，
誰也不要仿效它。
A Mantis Trying to Obstruct a Chariot
A Mantis was very brave。A chariot was ing and it was not afraid。It raised its two clamps high and struck heavily against the wheel of the chariot。The chariot was high and the wheels were big，and they were rolling，rolling and heading along。Too weak，alas，were the mantis'arms，and the mantis was then crushed to dust。Rash and imprudent the mantis was though，it left the world a big laughing-stock。Being self-important was a silly thing to do。No one would be foolish enough to follow suit。
