（狐狸和山羊）

One day a fox fell into a well.



一天，一只狐狸失足掉到了井里。

He tried to get out of it, but he couldn’t.

不论他如何挣扎仍没法爬上来。

Just then a goat came to the well.


就在当时，一只山羊来到井边。

She wanted to drink some water.


她想喝水。

She looked down into the well and saw a fox there.

她往井里看发现狐狸在井里。

The goat said to the fox, “Is the water good?”


便问狐狸：
“
井水好不好喝？
”

“Yes,
the water is good
,” said the
fox.




狐狸说：
“
是的，井里的水很好喝。
”

The goat jumped into the well and drank much water as she liked.
山羊便不假思索地跳了下去，
咕咚咕咚痛饮。

Afte
r a while the goat said to the fox, “How can we get out of this well?”
一会儿之后，山羊问狐狸：
“
我们怎

Put your feet on the wall.




狐狸说：
“
你用前脚扒在井墙上。

Then I jump up from your back.






我从你后背跳上井去，

After that I will help you out.”




再拉你上来，我们就都得救了。

“Oh, it’s a fine idea,” said the goat.

“
嗯，真的是个好办法。
”
山羊说。

And the fox got upon her back and jumped out of the well.
狐狸跳到他的背上，再用力一跳，跳出了井口。

“Now help me out, please!” said the goat.




“
现在请把我救出去吧！
”
山羊说。

“Why didn’t you think of how to get out, before you

1
Look at the Sky from the Bottom of a Well

坐井观天

There is a frog.
有一只青蛙住在井底，

He lives in a well and he never goes out of the well.

他从来没有去过井外面。

He thinks the sky is as big as the mouth of the well.

他以为天空就和井口一样大。

One day a crow comes to the well.


一天，

一只乌鸦飞到井边，

He sees the frog and says, “Frog, let’s have a talk.”


看见青蛙，就对它说：
“
青蛙，咱们聊聊吧。
”

Then the frog asks, “Where are you from?”


青蛙就问他：
“
你从哪里来？
”

“I fly from the sky,” the crow says.







“
我从天上上来。
”

The frog feels surprised and says,




青蛙惊讶了，就说：

“The sky is only as big as the mouth of the well.



“
天空就只有这井口这么大，

How do you fly from the sky?”



你怎么会从天上飞老呢？
”

The c
row says, “The sky is very big.

乌鸦说：
“
天空很大。

You always stay in the well, so you don’t know the world is big.”

只不过你一直呆在井里，
所有不知道世界很大。
”

The frog says, “I don’t believe.”


青蛙说：
“
我不相信。
”

But the crow says, “You can come out and have a look by yourself.”

乌鸦说：
“
你可以出来，
自己看看嘛。
”

So the frog comes out from the well.

于是青蛙来到井外。

He is very surprised. How big the world is!

他十分惊讶，原来世界这么大！

Later, people use it to describe the ones who have a very narrow view.
后来，人们就用
“
坐井观天
”
来比喻一个人的思想狭隘。

“
你怎么
敢搅浑浊了我的水？
”

”
小羊回答说，

“
我在下游喝水，
怎么能搅浑浊你喝的水呢？
”




“
那么，
”
狼见此计不成，又说道，




“
你去年的今天为什么说我的坏话？
”





“
不可能，
”
小羊说，
