The cock and the precious stone
A COCK
,
scratching for food for himself and his
hens
,
found a
precious stone and
exclaimed
:
“If
your owner had found thee
,
and not
I
,
he
would have taken thee up
,
and have set thee in thy first
estate
;
but I
have found thee for no purpose. I would rather
have one barleycorn
than all the jewels
in the world.”
公鸡和宝玉
一只公鸡在田野里为自己和母鸡们寻找食物。他发现了一块宝
玉,便
对宝玉说:
“
若不是我,而是你
的主人找到了你,他会非常珍惜地把你捡起
来;但我发现了你却毫无用处。我
与其得到世界上一切宝玉,倒不如得到
一颗麦子
好。
”
这是说自己需要的东西才是真正珍贵的。
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
?
”

runs away. He is out for three days. After he
comes
back

I tie him to a tree and give him some
food. Bobby begins to eat. But
then he
stops. He sees a fox. The fox is looking at his
food. Bobby barks
and barks. He wants
to catch the fox. But he can’t. The fox runs round
