过去贵州(黔)这个地方没有驴.有个多事的人用船运来了一头驴,运来后却没有什么用处,就把驴放到山脚下.
一只老虎看见了驴,以为这个躯体高大的家伙一定很神奇,就躲在树林里偷偷观察着,后来又悄悄走出来,小心翼翼地接近驴,不知道驴子的底细.
有一天,驴叫了一声,大虎大吃一惊,远远躲开,以为驴要咬自己了,非常恐惧.然而,老虎反复观察以后,觉得驴并没有什么特殊本领,而且越来越熟悉驴的叫声了.老虎开始走到驴的前后,转来转去,还不敢上去攻击驴.以后,老虎慢慢逼近驴,越来越放肆,或者碰它一下,或者靠它一下,不断冒犯它.驴非常恼怒,就用蹄子去踢老虎.
老虎心里盘算着：“你的本事也不过如此罢了!”非常高兴.于是老虎腾空扑去,大吼一声,咬断了驴的喉管,啃完了驴的肉,才离去了.
唉!那驴的躯体高大,好像有德行;声音洪亮,好像有本事.假如不显出那有限的本事,老虎虽然凶猛,也会存有疑虑畏惧的心理,终究不敢攻击它.现在落得如此下场,不是很可悲吗?
