English Original
Two horses were walking back to the paddock after a day's training. One said to the other, "I can't understand why we are so slow. We come from good stock, we have the best food, great trainers, and yet we come last in every race."
A dog running alongside them overheard and said, "I know what your problem is. I've seen you race, and it looks to me as if you race off at the start really fast, use up all your energy, and then have nothing left. What you should do is pace yourselves. When all the other horses are tuckered, put in a spurt, and you're sure to win. What do you think of that?"
The horses looked at one another and said, "Wow, a talking dog!"

两匹马在一天的训练后走回围场。一匹马对另一匹说：“我真不明白我们为什么这么慢。我们出身优良血统，吃着最好的饲料，有最棒的训练师，可我们每次比赛都垫底。”
一只在旁边跑的狗无意中听到了，便说：“我知道你们的问题所在。我看过你们比赛，在我看来，你们似乎一开始就冲得太快，耗尽了所有体力，然后就后劲不足了。你们应该做的是控制好自己的节奏。等到其他马都筋疲力尽时，再猛冲一下，你们肯定能赢。你们觉得这个建议怎么样？”
两匹马面面相觑，说道：“哇，一只会说话的狗！”
