One year, when the weather grew warm she began her annual journey,
一年，當天氣變得溫暖時，她開始一年一度的旅程，
stepping slowly and steadily along the way, while her little kid skipped along beside her.
一路上緩慢而穩定地走，而她的小孩在她身邊蹦蹦跳跳的走著。
But as she came to the end of the valley, she found a big bad wolf step out from behind a tree.
但隨著她來到山谷，她發現了一個大壞狼從一棵樹后面走了出來。
Good day, my dear goat, where are you off too? asked the wolf.
多美好的一天啊，我親愛的山羊，你去哪呢？狼問道。
The sheep replied as bravely as she could:
羊盡量勇敢地回答到：
We are moving up to the high pastures for the summer, continuing our blameless lives, munching on the grass,
我們正打算搬去高山草原上度過夏季，繼續我們無可責備的生活，吃草，
minding our own business and bothering nobody.
管好我們自己的事，不打擾任何人。
Your aim is very noble, said the wolf, but we can't all be blameless in this world.
你的目標是很高尚，狼說，但我們在這個世界上不可能無可責備。
Not of all of us can live off grass. I was born to eat animals like you, and as I am feeling rather hungry, that is what I intend to do.
不是所有人能靠吃草為生。我生來就是吃像你一樣的動物，我感覺很餓，所以我打算吃了你。
But the goat thought more quickly than she walked.
但是山羊的思考比她走路更快。
She replied to the wolf: As you know, my dear wolf, I am a selfless creature and cannot help thinking of others before myself.
她對狼說：你知道，我親愛的狼，我是一個無私的人，無法停止在個人之前優先考慮別人。
It would be a shameful waste to eat us now. The winter has just finished, and we are all skin and bone.
現在吃我們將是一種可恥的浪費。冬天剛剛結束，我們身上都是皮包頭。
My advice to you is to wait until we return in autumn. And then we will be nice and fat and will make a fine meal for a growing wolf like yourself.
我給你的建議就是等秋天我們返回，那時我們將變得又肥又壯，可以給像你一樣的正在長身體的狼提供一頓豐盛的大餐。
The wolf, who was not as clever as he was strong, thought about this proposition and replied: Thank you dear goat for your kind advice.
狼沒有與他強壯身體相匹配的智商，想了想這個提議并回答說：親愛的山羊，感謝你善意的建議。
I will do as you suggest. But you must promise to meet me here on your return, for if you are as good as you say, you will not break your word.
我將按照你的建議做。但是你必須承諾在你回來見我，如果你和你說的一樣好，你不會打破你的承諾。
The goat and her kid carried on their way, and spent the summer months happily leading their blameless lives,
山羊和她孩子上路了，高高興興地度過夏季，過著無可責備的生活，
munching on the grass, minding their own business, and bothering nobody.
吃草，管好我們自己的事，沒打擾任何人。
The goat soon forgot all about her bargain with the Big Bad Wolf, but when the days began to grow shorter,
山羊很快就忘記了所有關于她和大壞狼討價還價，但是當白天開始變短，
and the first snowflakes fell on the mountain, she remembered her fateful promise.
第一片雪花落在山上，她記起了她命運的承諾。
