The Wild Pig | 野蛮的野猪

English Original

In the wild wood lived a fierce wild pig.

Other animals lived there too — ponies, deer, and squirrels. The ponies and deer liked the grass under the oak trees, and the squirrels liked the acorns. But the wild pig drove them all away, refusing to share. He was so fierce that the other animals eventually left the forest.

After a while, the wild pig set off to find them. He left the wood and went down a lane. Soon, he saw a bull in a field. Pushing through the hedge, the pig entered the field. He snorted, stamped, and cried, "I am the wild pig! I live in the forest!"

"I am the wild bull, and I live in this field!" roared the bull. Lowering his head, he tossed the pig back into the lane.

The sad pig went on until he came to a pond where some geese were resting. "I am the wild pig—" he began, but got no further. The geese stretched their necks, flapped their wings, and hissed, driving him away from the pond.

"Oh dear!" he thought. "What nasty creatures." Turning around, he went back to the wood, no longer a fierce pig.

The birds and animals soon returned when they saw the pig had learned his lesson. Now they all live happily together.


中文翻译

在荒野的树林里,住着一头凶猛的野猪。

那里还住着其他动物——小马、鹿和松鼠。小马和鹿喜欢橡树下的草,松鼠喜欢橡树果。但野猪把它们都赶走了,拒绝分享。它如此凶猛,以至于其他动物最终都离开了森林。

过了一阵子,野猪出发去寻找它们。它离开树林,沿着一条小路走去。不久,它看到田野里有一头公牛。野猪挤过树篱,进入田野。它喷着鼻息,跺着脚,喊道:“我是野猪!我住在森林里!”

“我是野牛,我住在这片田野里!”公牛吼道。它低下头,把野猪顶回了小路。

沮丧的野猪继续前行,来到一个池塘边,那里有几只鹅在休息。“我是野猪——”它刚开口,话就被打断了。鹅伸长脖子,拍打翅膀,发出嘶嘶声,把它从池塘边赶走了。

“天哪!”它想。“多么讨厌的家伙。”它转过身,回到了树林里,不再是一头凶猛的猪了。

当鸟儿和其他动物看到野猪已经吸取了教训,它们很快就回来了。现在它们都快乐地生活在一起。
