：狼和狗
The Wolf and the Dog
There is a wolf. He is very hungry and has no strength to find food. As he lies under a large tree, a dog sees him. The dog sees the wolf is so thin and hungry, and he feels sorry for him and says, “You are so terrible! Are you hungry?”
“Yes,” says the wolf, “I’m hungry because you are guarding the sheep. Now I am so weak that I can’t find food. I think I will do.”
“Why not help me?” Asks the dog, “I work regularly and I eat regularly. You could do the same. You can help me guard the sleep. In that way, I will not worry about your stealing the sleep, and you will not worry about going hungry. It’s good for us.
The wolf thinks it over and thinks the dog is right. So they walk to the dog’s house. As they are walking, the wolf sees that only the hair of the dog’s neck is very thin. He is curious about this. So he asks the dog about it.
“Oh, don’t worry about that,” says the dog, “It’s the place where the collar ties on the neck. My master chains me up at night,”
“Chained up!” shouts the wolf, “Do you mean that you are chained up at night? If I come to live with you, will I be chained up at night, too?”
“That’s night,” says the dog, “But, you’ll get used to it.”
“But, if I am chained up, I won’t be free.” After saying this, the wolf turns round and runs away.
The dog shouts, “Wait! Come back! I’m not free, but I’m healthy. I have good food, and a warm place to sleep. I like enjoying life. In fact, I’m freer than you are.”
狼和狗
有一隻狼，他非常餓，而且餓得沒有力氣去找吃的了。當他躺在一棵大樹下時，一隻狗看見了他。看到狼又餓又瘦，狗挺可憐他的：“你看上去真可怕。你很餓啊?“
“是的。”狼說，“我餓是因為你和你的夥伴看守著羊群。現在我弱得沒法去找食物。我想我就快要死了。”
“為什麼不幫我呢?”狗說，“我們按時工作，準時吃飯。你也行的。你可以幫我看羊群。那樣我就不用擔心你會來偷羊，你也不用擔心捱餓了。這對我們都有好處。”
狼考慮了一下，覺得狗說的對，他們就一起朝狗的屋子走去了。正走著，狼看見口脖子上的毛很少。他覺得好奇，就問狗怎麼回事。
“啊，別擔心，”狗說，“這是系狗項圈的地方，晚上主人會把我拴起來。”
“拴起來?”狼叫起來，“你是說晚上你會拴起來?如果我去和你住，晚上也會被拴起來?”
“沒錯，”狗說，“但是你會習慣的。”
“但是，如果被拴起來，我就不自由了。”說完，狼轉身跑了。
狗大聲喊道：“等等!回來!我是不自由，可是我很健康，我有好的食物，有個溫暖的地方睡覺。你太喜歡享受生活了。我其實比你還自由些。”
：一隻口渴的狗
The Thirsty Dog
A dog is very thirsty. But he only sees some empty pails. There is no water in them. The dog goes on looking for water. He comes to a small house. There is a girl in it. The girl goes out with a pail. “She goes to a well,” the dog thinks and follows her. The dog is right. The girl comes to a well and puts down the pail, and the pail is full of water, there the girl goes back to her house.
“ Water! Great!” the dog says and runs to the well. He jumps into the well without thought.”
The water is good. The dog is happy and drinks much. But he can’t jump out of the well. He waits and waits. But no one comes. “I’m hungry now. I must go out,” he thinks.
At the time a thirsty goat comes to the well. He looks at the water and the dog. “Is the water good?” the goat asks. “ Of course. Come down,” the dog says. Then the goat jumps into the well, too. Then dog is happy. He jumps on the goat’s back and jumps out of the well.
The dog has a look at the goat and says, “Goodbye!” Then he leaves.
一隻口渴的狗
有一隻狗口很渴，他只找到一些空空的水桶，裡面沒有水。他繼續找水。他來到一座小房子前面。房子裡住著一個小姑娘。小姑娘拎著只水桶出來了。 “她要去打水。”狗想道，並跟在她後面。果然不錯，小姑娘來到一口井邊，把水桶放入井裡，水桶水滿了。然後小姑娘回去了。
“水!太好了!”狗叫著跑過去。他想也沒想就跳下井去了。
井水真的不錯。狗可高興了。喝了許多水，但是他沒有辦法跳出來了。他等了好久，但是沒有人來。 “我餓了，我得出去。”他想著。
這時候一隻口渴的山羊到井邊來了，他看井水和這隻狗。“這水好和嗎?”山羊問狗：“當然了。快下來吧。“狗回答說。於是山羊也跳到井裡了。狗高興極了。他跳上山羊的背，又跳出了水井。
狗一眼山羊說聲：“再見。”就跑開了。
