在动物界中，羊以老实厚道著称。一天，一只山羊手持礼物前往狮王宫。狮王远远望见这位诚实的羊友急切地奔来，便心生疑惑：“这羊平日里老实无私，为何今日也要行此不坦白之举？”于是，狮王故意装作未曾发现，以眯眼趴于大树下享受清凉。

“狮王，请您帮我出主意！”山羊急匆匆至前拜倒。

狮王微微睁眼，装作惊讶：“啊，这是善良的山羊！你找我有何贵干？”

“请您一定要帮我办事！”山羊恳求，“昨日，一只兔子占据了我的草地。我家四口人因缺食已成难题。这又添一隻兔子，我怎能应对？”

听罢，狮王点头赞同：“小兔子竟敢霸占他人领地，在明亮的大日之下做出如此放肆之举。真是‘秃子打伞——无法（发）无天’！既然如此，此事便由我为你解决。”

然而，当山羊准备离去时，却忘记将送上的礼物放在身旁，将其留在了狮王面前。狮王看后叹息说：“原来如此，你担心若不送礼，就不能得到帮助？这是多么令人忧虑的事呀！”

看到这一幕，山羊的心情又是一番波动，他请求说：“请您绝对照字面去做吧！”

但随即，又被迫再次跪倒，用泣声恳求着。而当见到那份礼物被拒，还能继续坚信 狐假虎威吗？

就在此刻，大獅缓和声音，说话语温柔得多了一份耐心与理解。他轻声询问：“难道不是因为担心我收不到你的赠品，所以才会这样不安吗？”

Mountain goat nodded hesitantly, and the lion couldn't help but feel a sense of resignation. In his heart, he thought to himself: "Oh my, how times have changed! Nowadays, people always think that if they don't give gifts or curry favor with others, they won't get any help. This is an affliction that seems impossible to cure!"

In the end, the lion had no choice but to accept the gift from the mountain goat. After resolving the issue, he instructed one of his attendants - a fawn - to return the gift to its rightful owner.

The mountain goat's ungrounded anxiety was finally resolved.
