Scene 1: In the Forest
Narrator (旁白):
Once upon a time, in a big forest, there lived a clever fox and a strong tiger. The tiger was the king of the forest, but he didn’t know how to use his power wisely.
Fox (狐狸):
(whispers to himself)
I need to find a way to stay safe. The tiger is too strong. But maybe I can use him to scare others.
Tiger (老虎):
(walking through the forest)
I am the king of the forest! Everyone should be afraid of me!
Deer (鹿):
(quietly)
I heard the tiger is very strong. I must be careful.
Rabbit (兔子):
(quickly)
I don’t want to meet the tiger. He might eat me!
Scene 2: The Fox Meets the Tiger
Fox:
(stepping out from behind a tree)
Hello, big tiger! You look very powerful.
Tiger:
Who are you? I don’t recognize you.
Fox:
I am the little fox. I live here too. I have heard many stories about you.
Tiger:
What do you mean?
Fox:
Everyone says that you are the strongest animal in the forest. Even the deer and the rabbit run away when they see you.
Tiger:
That’s true. I am the king. No one dares to challenge me.
Fox:
Then why are you walking alone today?
Tiger:
I’m just taking a walk. Why?
Fox:
Because I saw some animals running away from you. They are scared of you.
Tiger:
Of course they are! I am the king!
Fox:
But what if someone is stronger than you?
Tiger:
No one is stronger than me!
Fox:
Then let’s go together. I will show you who is really afraid of you.
Scene 3: The Fox Leads the Tiger
Narrator:
The fox led the tiger through the forest. As they walked, other animals ran away in fear.
Deer:
Oh no! It’s the tiger! Run!
Rabbit:
Quick! Hide! The tiger is coming!
Tiger (confused):
Why are they running away? I haven’t even done anything!
Fox (smiling):
They are afraid of you, my friend. Because you are the king.
Tiger (proudly):
Yes! That’s right! I am the king!
Narrator:
The tiger believed the fox. He thought the animals were afraid of him. But in reality, they were afraid of the fox because he was leading the tiger.
Scene 4: The Truth Comes Out
Narrator:
One day, the tiger decided to prove that he was the real king.
Tiger:
Let’s go to the river. I want to show everyone that I am the strongest.
Fox:
But the river is dangerous. There are snakes and crocodiles.
Tiger:
I’m not afraid of anything! Let’s go!
Narrator:
As they reached the river, the tiger saw a snake on the bank.
Snake (蛇):
Back off! This is my territory!
Tiger:
I am the king of the forest. You should be afraid of me!
Snake:
You think you are strong? I’ve seen bigger animals than you. You are just a fool.
Tiger (shocked):
What? But I’m the king!
Fox (laughing):
You see? You’re not as strong as you thought. And the animals only run from me, not from you.
Tiger (angry):
You tricked me!
Fox:
I only used your strength. Now you understand — being the king is more than just being strong.
Scene 5: The Lesson Learned
Narrator:
From that day on, the tiger learned that true strength comes from wisdom and respect, not just power.
Tiger:
I was wrong. I thought I was the king, but I was just being used.
Fox:
And I learned that even a small animal can be clever if he uses his brain.
Deer and Rabbit:
We are glad the tiger has changed. Now we can live in peace.
Narrator:
And so, the forest became a better place for all animals. The fox and the tiger became friends, and the lesson of 狐假虎威 was remembered for years to come.
