Asking the Fox for Its Fur
（与狐谋皮）
In ancient times, there was a man who longed for a precious fur robe. He daydreamed about wearing a fox-fur coat worth a thousand gold pieces all day long, and just thinking about it made him happy. At the same time, he also wanted to eat delicious food—he daydreamed about it too, and just imagining the taste made saliva drip from his mouth.
However, reality was always cruel. Days passed by, but none of his dreams came true. He felt empty and lost. What could he do
One day, he couldn’t hold back anymore. He went to talk to the foxes. He said to them: “Brother Foxes, please help me! Let me peel off your fur—I really want to make my dream coat with it. Please, help me!” Before he even finished speaking, the foxes had already run away without a trace. They told each other about this, and soon all the foxes were so scared that they hid in the mountains and never appeared again.
Seeing that he couldn’t get fox fur, he went to talk to the goats instead. He said to them: “Little Brother Goats, please help me! Let me eat your meat—I’ve been dreaming of tasting your tender mutton for so long. Please, have pity on me!” As soon as the goats heard this, they called out to each other, all hiding in fear and never showing up again.
So, even though the man kept planning, ten years passed and he still hadn’t made his dream fox-fur coat or eaten a single bite of tender goat meat. It wasn’t because he didn’t try—it was because his way of trying to get these things was too stupid.
Moral
Asking foxes for their fur and goats for their meat is stupid and doomed to fail. When doing things, we should have the right methods and ways. If we use wrong methods, we will never be able to achieve our desired goals.
与狐谋皮（中文翻译）
古时候，有个人渴望得到一件珍贵的皮袍。他整天幻想着能穿上一件价值千金的狐皮大衣，光是想想就觉得开心。与此同时，他还想吃美味的食物 —— 这也让他日思夜想，光是想象那味道，口水就忍不住流下来。
可现实总是残酷的。日子一天天过去，他的梦想却一个也没实现。他感到空虚又迷茫，该怎么办呢？
有一天，他再也忍不住了，就去找狐狸们谈话。他对狐狸们说：“狐狸兄弟们，求求你们帮帮我吧！让我剥下你们的皮毛 —— 我真的想用它做一件我梦寐以求的大衣。求求你们，帮帮我！” 他的话还没说完，狐狸们就已经跑得无影无踪了。它们互相转告了这件事，很快，所有狐狸都吓得躲进了山里，再也不出来了。
没能拿到狐皮，他转而去找山羊。他对山羊们说：“山羊小弟们，求求你们帮帮我吧！让我吃掉你们的肉 —— 我早就想尝尝你们鲜美的羊肉了。求求你们，可怜可怜我吧！” 山羊们一听这话，就互相呼唤着，全都害怕地躲了起来，再也不露面了。
就这样，尽管这个人一直在盘算，十年过去了，他既没做成梦寐以求的狐皮大衣，也没吃到一口鲜美的羊肉。这不是因为他没努力 —— 而是因为他想得到这些东西的方法实在太愚蠢了。
寓意
向狐狸要皮毛、向山羊要肉吃，这种做法既愚蠢又注定失败。做事情时，我们必须有正确的方法和途径。如果用了错误的方法，就永远无法实现自己想要的目标。
