a hound started a hare from his lair, but after a long run, gave up the chase. a goat-herd seeing him stop, mocked him, saying "the little one is the best runner of the two." the hound replied, "you do not see the difference between us: i was only running for a dinner, but he for his life."

一只猎狗在追赶一只野兔，过了很久，也没有成功，于是就停止了追击。一个牧羊人看到停下来的猎狗，就嘲弄他:“依我看，那个小个子才是最佳的跑步选手。”猎狗回答道:“你并没有看出我们的差别:我是在为我的晚餐追赶，而兔子则是在逃命啊！”

动机决定行为。
