LESSON 27 The dog and the shadow
第二十七課 狗和影子
As a dog was crossing a brook with a bone in his mouth, he saw his own image in the clear water, and mistook it for another dog carrying another bone. Not content with what he himself possessed, the greedy creature snatched at the prize which he saw below. In doing so, he of course dropped the real bone, which fell into the brook and was lost!
一只狗正穿過一條小溪，嘴里叼著骨頭,他看到自己的影子在清澈的水里,并誤以為是另一只狗拿著另一個骨頭。不滿足于自己擁有什么,貪婪的動物搶走他看見下面的獎賞。在這樣做的時候,他當(dāng)然放棄了真正的骨頭,掉進(jìn)了小溪,輸了!
The greedy, grasping at more than they have, often lose even that which they might in peace have enjoyed.
貪婪,貪婪的超過他們,甚至經(jīng)常失去他們可能在和平時所享受的。
