Animal Complaints | 动物们的抱怨

点击查看中英对照

It seems that God received a delegation of animals complaining about their lot. They were an elephant, a giraffe, and a hen.

The elephant complained, "Lord, I HATE THIS TRUNK YOU have given me. It gets in the way and makes me look like a fool!"

The Lord said, "Don't complain. It lets you pick up food, drink water, and more, all without getting wet."

Next, the giraffe complained, "Lord, I HATE THIS LONG NECK! It makes me top-heavy, I get terrible neck pains, and people laugh at me!"

The Lord said, "Don't complain. It lets you pick the best fruit and leaves from the high branches and allows you to see far into the distance."

Finally, the hen spoke up, "Lord, I don't want to complain, but could you either give me a bigger hole or smaller eggs?"
