The Kid and the Wolf | 孩子与狼

English Original

A kid was perched on top of a horse. Looking down, he saw a wolf passing below. Immediately, he began to revile and attack his enemy.

"Murderer and thief!" he cried. "What are you doing here near honest folks and horses? How dare you show yourself where your vile deeds are known?"

"Curse away, my young friend," said the wolf. "It is easy to be brave from a safe distance."


中文翻译

一个孩子骑在马背上。他低头看见一只狼从下方经过,立刻开始辱骂和攻击他的敌人。

“凶手!小偷!”他喊道。“你在这靠近老实人和马的地方做什么?你怎敢在你那些卑劣行径人尽皆知的地方露面?”

“尽管骂吧,小朋友,”狼说。“躲在安全的地方逞勇敢,再容易不过了。”
