a hart, hard pressed in the chase, hid himself beneath the large leaves of a vine. the huntsmen, in their haste, overshot the place of his concealment. supposing all danger to have passed, the hart began to nibble the tendrils of the vine. one of the huntsmen, attracted by the rustling of the leaves, looked back, and seeing the hart, shot an arrow from his bow and struck it. the hart, at the point of death, groaned: "i am rightly served, for i should not have maltreated the vine that saved me."

一头雄鹿为了躲避猎人们的追捕，躲入了葡萄园。【被高冷豹攻饲养了怎么破】匆忙经过的猎人们并没发现雄鹿的藏身之所，继续往前走了。雄鹿断定所有的危险都已经过去了，就大胆地开始啃吃起葡萄叶子来了。葡萄叶子“沙沙”作响，引起了一个猎人的注意，随即回头一看，果然看到了雄鹿，于是就向他射了一箭，正中目标。弥留之际，雄鹿自怨自艾地说:“葡萄藤还是我的救命恩人，我却恩将仇报。这都是我自作自受啊！”

滴水之恩当涌泉相报。
