英語童話故事之牛和狗
An ox and a dog serve for the same farmer. One day the dog arrogantly1 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?"
一頭牛和一隻狗同時為一個農夫工作。狗驕傲地說著：“我是多麼重要啊!白天我在牧場看護家群，晚上我看家。而你呢…..?”
“我?我怎麼啦?”
牛反問。“你只會犁地或是拉扯。”狗不懈地說。“是的。你說得沒有錯，”牛回答道。“但是如果沒有我犁地，你看護什麼呢?”
