篇1：

A tiger caughta fox in a forest, and was just about to eat

it, when the fox said, "You mustn't eat me. I was sent by Heaven

to rule the animals. By eating me, You will violate the command

of Heaven.

If you dont believe me, just follow me to see whether the

animals are afraid of me." The tiger agreed, and followed the

fox as it walked around the forest. The animals all ran away

on seeing them. The tiger thought they were afraid of the fox,

so he let it go. He didnt realise that it was him that hte beasts

were really afraid of.

This idiom means relying on another 's power to bully or

frighten others.

it took her a long time to pick on one. already at the end of

mind again so he tried to flatter her: "an excellent choice,

madam. you look at least ten years younger with this hat on!"

to his dismay, the lady took off her hat at once and said: "i

don't want a hat that makes me look ten years older as soon as

i take it off. show me some more hats!"
