The Greedy Dog

The Greedy Dog (based on a European fable) 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.

贪婪的狗(根据欧洲寓言改编) 从前，有一只贪吃的大狗。所有的其他的狗都很怕他。 一天，这只贪心的狗坐在池塘边。 他看见一只叼着骨头的小狗。那只贪心的狗跑过来，把小狗的骨头拿走了。

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.

但是，这只小狗非常聪明。他有个计划。 他站在水中的一块大石头上。它朝水里看了看，开始叫起来。 “你在叫什么?”贪心的狗问。 “来看看。”小狗回答说。 贪婪的狗走近了走到池塘边，向水塘里看。他看见一只大狗叼着一根骨头盯着他看。他不知道他看到的是自己的倒影。 这个贪婪的家伙丢下了他的骨头，想从水里的狗那里偷那根。 那条小狗，它一直在监视着。捡起他的骨头就跑了。
