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?”

故事22 牛和狗

一頭牛和一只狗同時為一個農夫工作。

一天， 狗驕傲地說著;‘我是多么重要啊!白天我在牧場看護家群，晚上我看家。而你呢…..?”

“我?我怎么啦?“ 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，你看護什么呢?”
