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?”
一頭牛和一隻狗同時為一個農夫工作。
一天， 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？”
