《五卷书》是古印度的寓言故事集，用梵文写成，书里说作者是一位名叫毗湿奴舍利曼的老先生，他用动物故事教导几位王子明白事理。学者估计，它大约在公元300年前后形成今天的样子。全书分五卷，这个故事收在第一卷《朋友的决裂》里。我国著名学者季羡林先生直接从梵文把它译成了中文。

The Panchatantra is a collection of fables from ancient India, written in Sanskrit. The book says its author was an old scholar named Vishnu Sharma, who used animal stories to teach several princes how to understand the world. Scholars estimate that it took its present form around the year 300. The book has five parts, and this story is in the first part, The Loss of Friends. The famous Chinese scholar Ji Xianlin translated it into Chinese directly from Sanskrit.

《五卷书》是世界上流传最广的故事书之一。大约公元6世纪，它被译成波斯的巴列维语；公元750年前后，又被伊本·穆加发译成阿拉伯语，叫《卡里来和笛木乃》。卡里来和笛木乃，正是第一卷里两只豺的名字。本站第164期《猴子与鳄鱼》，也出自这本书。

The Panchatantra is one of the most widely traveled storybooks in the world. Around the 6th century, it was translated into Pahlavi, a language of ancient Persia. Around the year 750, Ibn al-Muqaffa translated it into Arabic as Kalila and Dimna. Kalila and Dimna are the names of the two jackals in the first part of the book. Our episode 164, The Monkey and the Crocodile, also comes from this book.
