The story:
Ung dung người nở nụ cười:
“Trí khôn ta giấu một nơi ở nhà
Đường về đi lại thì xa
Sợ anh ăn mất trâu nhà thì sao?
Anh cho ta trói chặt vào
Rồi ta về lấy. Thế nào? Ưng không?”
Hổ nghe nói cũng bằng lòng
Người liền lấy sợi dây thừng trói ngay
Trưa hè cày giữa cánh đồng
Lâu lâu người đánh roi dồn bước trâu
Hổ lên tiếng hỏi: “Tại sao
Trâu to mà phải cúi đầu chịu roi?”
Trâu bèn đủng đỉnh trả lời:
“Ta không có được như người, trí khôn”
Hổ quay lại hỏi người luôn:
“Cho ta xem thử trí khôn của người”
Trí khôn của ta đây!
Nguyễn Đức Tùy
(Việt Trì, Phú Thọ)
Trói chặt hổ vào gốc cây
Rồi châm lửa đốt, cháy ngay đùng đùng
Người rằng: “Anh có biết không
Đây chính là cái trí khôn của người!”
Hổ vùng chạy thoát được rồi
Vết đen loang lổ bao đời còn đây
Trâu cười… va phải gốc cây
Hàm trên vỡ hết, răng nay chẳng còn!
