[00:00.00]Where is the Heart of the Donkey? 驴心哪儿去了？
[00:05.62]One day the lion king became sick.
[00:10.43]He summoned the doctor to treat him.
[00:13.07]“Your majesty,”
[00:14.69]the doctor said,
[00:16.67]“you will get well if you eat the heart of a donkey,
[00:19.61]but make sure you take a bath first.”
[00:23.79]The lion king was pleased to hear that his illness could be cured.
[00:28.91]He then asked his guard, the fox,
[00:31.87]to find him a donkey.
[00:33.74]The fox soon met one,
[00:35.91]and he wanted to trick the donkey into going to the lion king’s den.
[00:41.50]“Donkey,
[00:42.82]I know a field where there is plenty of fresh,
[00:47.08]juicy grass,”
[00:48.50]said the fox.
[00:50.23]“I can take you there if you like.”
[00:53.32]The donkey was so eager to eat such tasty grass
[00:58.57]that he readily agreed to follow the fox.
[01:01.84]The fox led him into the lion king’s den.
[01:06.32]As soon as he saw the donkey, the lion king attacked him,
[01:11.35]but he was too weak to kill him.
[01:14.21]The donkey at once escaped from the place.
[01:18.03]The fox chased after the donkey.
[01:20.75]“Donkey, wait!
[01:23.06]Why are you running away?
[01:25.04]That was the owner of the field
[01:27.76]and he was only greeting you.
[01:30.60]You have made him very upset.”
[01:33.56]The donkey had never before seen a lion,
[01:37.71]so he said,
[01:38.81]“All right, I’ll come with you, Fox.”
[01:43.07]And he followed the fox back to the lion’s den.
[01:47.01]This time, the lion king attacked the donkey
[01:50.94]with all his strength and managed to kill him.
[01:54.45]He did not eat the donkey’s heart immediately
[01:57.84]as he wanted to follow his doctor’s advice to take a bath first.
[02:02.21]“Fox, guard the dead donkey well,”
[02:06.39]said the lion king.
[02:08.23]“I have to take a bath first before eating his heart.”
[02:12.93]When the lion king had left for his bath,
[02:16.45]the fox at once tore out the donkey’s heart and ate it.
[02:20.71]“Oh, it’s so delicious!”
[02:23.76]he murmured.
[02:24.86]Then he sat beside the dead animal as if guarding it.
[02:29.23]When the lion returned to eat the donkey’s heart,
[02:33.39]he tore up the body and searched for the heart.
[02:36.79]Of course he did not find it.
[02:39.40]He was very surprised by this.
[02:42.23]He turned to the fox and asked,
[02:45.09]“Fox, what happened to the donkey’s heart?”
[02:48.80]The fox answered,
[02:51.22]“Your majesty, this donkey did not have a heart.
[02:55.92]If he had possessed a heart,
[02:58.09]he would not have come back after escaping
[03:01.61]from Your Majesty the first time.”
