There was a sturdy ram with a pair of thick horns upright on its head.
It strutted about proudly and saw a fence built with bamboo and wood in front, which blocked its way. It cast a sidelong glance at the fence, lowered its neck and lunged at the fence, hoping to knock it down. The fence remained intact but the ram injured its own horns.
If it had not injured its horns, the ram would have persisted obstinately in butting against the fence, even against the spokes of a wheel until it bled with a fractured skull.
As a result, with its horns caught in the fence, the ram could neither advance nor retreat butbleat helplessly.

假如公羊沒有碰傷犄角的話，那么它還會一個勁兒地撞下去，甚至向車輪的輻條上撞去，直到頭破血流為止。
結(jié)果呢?公羊的犄角被籬笆夾住，進也不得，退也不得，只能“咩咩”不停地叫喚。
