Tiger followed Fox through the forest.

They saw a group of animals in a field. Fox walked toward them. Tiger followed behind. He watched the animals closely. They were busy eating grass. They didn’t see Fox and Tiger in the forest.

Fox growled. He showed his teeth. He tried to roar. The animals heard Fox’s “roar.” They turned and saw Fox and Tiger. The animals ran away as fast as they could! “Look!” cried Fox. “They are afraid of me. Did you see how they ran?”

Tiger was amazed.

“I saw that,” Tiger said. “You really are King of the Forest.”

Tiger bowed to Fox. Then he turned and walked away.

Of course, the animals were not really afraid of Fox. They saw Tiger standing behind Fox. They were afraid of Tiger. He was the real King. He was fierce. He was not as smart as Fox, though. Fox saved himself from being Tiger’s dinner. And that was even better than being King.

多了。本句中的 that 是指狐狸没有成为老虎的食物这件事。

以下翻译来自百度翻译：

老虎住在森林里。老虎很勇敢。老虎很凶猛。动物们都害怕老虎。他猎取它们作为食物。

一天，狐狸走过老虎的小径。

老虎咆哮着。“这是我的下一顿饭。”

“哦，不！”狐狸想。“我跑不比老虎快，他会把我吃掉的！”

老虎咆哮着，他饿了。

“等等！”狐狸叫道，“你不能吃我。”

“我要吃掉你，”老虎说。“你什么都不是，狐狸。你阻止不了我！”

他离福克斯更近了一步。

“你不能吃我！”狐狸喊道。“我是森林之王！”

“你不是国王，”老虎吼道，“你是个小丑。”

“不，这是真的，”狐狸说，“任何看到我的动物都会逃跑。”

“哈！”老虎吼道。“我不相信你！我不是在逃跑！我是森林之王！”

“你不必相信我，我可以证明。”

“去吧，”老虎吼道，“证明给我看！”

“跟我来，”福克斯说。

老虎跟着狐狸穿过森林。

他们看到一片田野里有一群动物。狐狸朝他们走来。老虎跟在后面。他仔细地看着这些动物。他们正忙着吃草。他们没有看到狐狸和老虎在森林里。

狐狸咆哮着。他露出牙齿。他试图吼叫。动物们听到了狐狸的“吼叫”。他们转过身，看到了狐狸和老虎。动物们尽可能快地跑开了。“看！”狐狸喊道。“他们害怕我。你看到他们怎么跑了吗？”

老虎很惊讶。

“我看到了，”老虎说，“你们真是森林之王。”

老虎向狐狸鞠躬。然后他转身走开了。

当然，动物们并不是真的害怕狐狸。他们看到老虎站在狐狸后面。他们害怕老虎。他是真正的国王。他很凶猛。但他没有狐狸聪明。狐狸救了自己免于成为老虎的晚餐。这比当国王还要好。
