A wasp settled on the head of a snake, and not only stung him several times, but clungobstinately to the head of his victim. Maddened with pain the snake tried every means he could think of to get rid of the creature, but without success. At last he became desperate, and crying, "Kill you I will , even at the cost of my own life." He laid his head with the wasp on it under the wheel of a passing wagon, and they both perished together.
一只黃蜂坐在一條蛇的頭上，不僅多次用刺去叮蛇，而且還牢牢地貼在受害者的頭上。蛇疼得快要瘋了。嘗試了很多方法想要趕走黃蜂，可是沒有成功。最后，蛇絕望了，大喊道：“我要殺了你，即使丟掉我自己的性命也在所不惜。”于是，蛇將自己的頭伸到一輛從旁經過的馬車車輪下，他們同歸于盡了。
