A one-eyed doe used to graze near the sea,and in order to protect herself from attack,she kept her eye focused on the land in case hunters might approach, while her blind side was turned toward the sea because she did not expect a threat from that direction.But some sailors came rowing by in a boat,and when they saw her,they took aim from the water and shot her.Heaving her last gasp,she sighed,“Unfortunate creature that I am!I was safe on the land side where I expected to be attacked,but found an enemy in the sea to which I looked most for protection."
Danger often comes from a source that is least suspected.

一隻獨眼的母鹿過去常在海邊吃草，為了保護自己不受攻擊，她把目光集中在陸地上，以防獵人靠近，而她的盲側則轉向大海，因為她覺得那個方向沒有危險。但是一些水手在海上乘船劃過時看到了母鹿，他們在船上瞄準她朝她開了槍。她喘了最後一口氣，嘆道：“我真不幸！我一直以為盯著陸地不被攻擊是安全的，卻沒想到敵人是來自我覺得最可靠的海里。”
危險往往來自最不被懷疑的地方。
