The Dog's House | 狗的房子

English Original

In winter, a dog curled up tightly to keep warm and decided to build himself a house. When summer came, he stretched out to his full length while sleeping and felt himself to be very large. He then thought that building a house big enough to accommodate him would be neither easy nor necessary.


中文翻译

冬天,一只狗为了保暖紧紧地蜷缩起来,并决定为自己建一所房子。当夏天来临时,他睡觉时伸展开身体,感觉自己非常庞大。于是他认为,建造一所足够容纳自己的房子既不容易,也没必要。
