English Original
A Dog and a Cock, being great friends, agreed to travel together. At nightfall, they took shelter in a thick wood. The Cock flew up and perched on the branches of a tree, while the Dog found a bed beneath in the hollow trunk.
When morning dawned, the Cock, as usual, crowed very loudly several times. A Fox heard the sound and, wishing to make a breakfast of him, came and stood under the branches. He said how earnestly he desired to make the acquaintance of the owner of so magnificent a voice.
The Cock, suspecting his civilities, said: "Sir, I wish you would do me the favor of going around to the hollow trunk below me and waking my porter, so that he may open the door and let you in."
When the Fox approached the tree, the Dog sprang out, caught him, and tore him to pieces.

一只狗和一只公鸡是好朋友，他们决定一起旅行。夜幕降临时，他们在一处茂密的树林里寻找庇护。公鸡飞上树枝栖息，而狗则在树下的空心树干里找到了床铺。
黎明时分，公鸡像往常一样响亮地啼叫了几声。一只狐狸听到了声音，想把他当作早餐，便走过来站在树枝下。狐狸说，他多么渴望结识拥有如此美妙嗓音的主人。
公鸡怀疑他的殷勤，说道：“先生，请您帮个忙，绕到我下面的空心树干那儿，叫醒我的门房，这样他就能开门让您进来了。”
当狐狸靠近那棵树时，狗猛地跳出来，抓住了他，并将他撕成了碎片。
