牛和狗

Story 22   The Ox and the Dog
  An ox and a dog serve for the same farmer.
 One day the dog arrogantly says: “How grand I am! In the daytime, I watch out for the cattle in the meadows; at night, I guard the house. But you…”
“Me? How about me ?” the ox says
“You can only plough or draw a cart,” the dog slightly says.
“Yes. It’s true,” the ox says. “But if I don’t plough, what do you guard?”

故事22 牛和狗
  一头牛和一只狗同时为一个农夫工作。
一天， 狗骄傲地说着；‘我是多么重要啊！白天我在牧场看护家群，晚上我看家。而你呢…..?”
“我？我怎么啦？“ 牛反问。
“你只会犁地或是拉扯。”狗不懈地说。
“是的。你说得没有错，”牛回答道。“但是如果没有我犁地，你看护什么呢？”
