The Pig and the Sheep | 猪与绵羊

English Original

A pig wandered into a meadow where a flock of sheep were grazing. The shepherd caught it and was about to take it to the butcher's when the pig began squealing loudly and struggling to escape. The sheep scolded it for making such a fuss, saying, "The shepherd catches and drags us off regularly, and we never make any noise."

"No, I'm sure you don't," replied the pig. "But my situation and yours are completely different. He only wants you for your wool, but he wants me for my bacon."


中文翻译

一头猪误入了一片羊群正在吃草的牧场。牧羊人抓住了它,正要把它带到屠夫那里去,这时猪开始大声尖叫并挣扎着想要逃跑。绵羊们责备它如此大惊小怪,说道:“牧羊人经常抓住我们并把我们拖走,我们从不发出任何声响。”

“是的,我相信你们不会,”猪回答道。“但我的处境和你们的完全不同。他抓你们只是为了羊毛,而抓我却是为了我的肉。”
