经典少儿英语寓言故事：牧羊人和野山羊

A Goatherd, driving his flock from their pasture at
eventide, found some Wild Goats mingled among them, and shut
them up together with his own for the night.

黄昏时分，牧羊人赶着他的羊群放牧归来时，发现有几只 野山羊
也夹杂在其中。他把它们和自己的羊关在一起，过了一夜。

The next day it snowed, so that he could not take the
herd to their usual feeding places, but was obliged to keep
them in the fold.

第二天，下起了大雪，牧羊人不能带着羊群去它们以往吃草的地
方了，只得让它们呆在羊栏里。

He gave his own goats just sufficient food to keep them
alive, but fed the strangers more abundantly in the hope of
enticing them to stay with him and of making them his own.

他给自己的样的食物刚好能填饱它们的肚子，而喂那几只野山羊
的食物要丰盛得多，想以此来引诱它们留 下来，归他自己所有。

When the thaw set in, he led them all out to feed, and
the Wild Goats scampered away as fast as they could to the
mountains.

冰雪刚一融化，那几只野山羊便拼命地向上里跑去。

The Goatherd scolded them for their ingratitude in
leaving him, when during the storm he had taken more care of
them than of his own herd.

牧羊人责怪它们弃他而去是忘恩负义，说暴风雪期间他对它们的
照顾比对自己的羊还要多。
