The Greedy Dog

Story Sixteen The Greedy Dog There once was a greedy dog that was very big. All the other dogs were afraid of him. One day, the greedy dog was sitting beside a pond. He saw a little old dog with a bone. The greedy dog ran over and took the bone from the little dog.

故事十六 贪心的小狗 从前有只贪心的狗，长得特别高大。 其他的小狗都很怕他。 有一天，贪心的狗坐在池塘边。 他看见一只小小的老狗叼着一根骨头。 贪心的狗跑过去，把小狗的骨头抢了过来。

But the little old dog was very wise. He had a plan. He stood on a large rock in the water. He looked down into the water and started to bark. What are you barking at? The greedy dog asked. Come and see, replied the little dog. The greedy dog walked closer to the pond and looked into the water. He saw a big dog with a bone staring back at him. He didn't know that he was looking at his own reflection. So the greedy dog dropped his bone and tried to steal the one from the dog in the water. The little dog, who had been watching the whole time, picked up his bone and ran away.

不过这只小小的老狗非常聪明。 他想到了一个主意。 他站在水里的一块大石头上。 他低头看着水面，开始汪汪叫。 你在叫什么呀？ 贪心的狗问道。 “你过来看看呀。”小狗回答说。 贪心的狗走到池塘边，低头朝水里看。 他看见一只大狗也叼着一根骨头，正盯着他看呢。 他不知道那其实是自己的倒影呀。 于是贪心的狗松开嘴丢下骨头，想去抢水里那只狗的骨头。 一直在旁边看着的小狗捡起自己的骨头，跑走啦。
