English Original
A dog was lying in the sun before a farmyard gate when a wolf pounced upon him and was about to eat him. The dog begged for his life, saying, "Look how thin I am. I'd make a poor meal now. But if you wait a few days, my master is giving a feast. I'll get all the rich scraps and become nice and fat. Then I'll be a much better meal for you."
The wolf agreed to the plan and left. Some time later, he returned to the farmyard and found the dog lying safely out of reach on the stable roof.
"Come down," called the wolf, "and be eaten. Remember our agreement?"
But the dog replied coolly, "My friend, if you ever catch me lying by that gate again, don't wait for any feast."

一只狗正躺在农院门前的阳光下，一只狼猛扑过来，准备吃掉他。狗乞求饶命，说道：“看看我多瘦啊。我现在可不够你吃的。但如果你等上几天，我的主人要举办一场宴会。我会得到所有丰盛的食物残渣，变得肥肥胖胖的。那时我才是你的一顿美餐。”
狼同意了这个计划便离开了。一段时间后，狼回到农院，发现狗正安全地躺在马厩屋顶上，他够不着。
“下来，”狼喊道，“让我吃了你。还记得我们的约定吗？”
但狗冷静地回答道：“我的朋友，如果你下次再在那门口抓到我躺在地上，可别再等什么宴会了。”
