English Original
An ox and a dog served the same farmer. One day, the dog said arrogantly: "How grand I am! In the daytime, I watch over the cattle in the meadows; at night, I guard the house. But you…"
"Me? What about me?" asked the ox.
"You can only plough or pull a cart," the dog said dismissively.
"Yes, that's true," replied the ox. "But if I don't plough the fields, what is there for you to guard?"

一头牛和一只狗为同一位农夫工作。一天，狗傲慢地说：“我多么了不起啊！白天我在牧场看管牛群，晚上我看守房子。而你……”
“我？我怎么了？”牛问道。
“你只会犁地或者拉车，”狗轻蔑地说。
“是的，你说得对，”牛回答道。“但如果我不犁地，你又有什么可看守的呢？”
