A DOG lay in a manger, and by his growling and snapping prevented the oxen from eating the hay which had been placed for them. "What a selfish Dog!" said one of them to his companions; "he cannot eat the hay himself, and yet refuses to allow those to eat who can."
一条狗躺在食槽中，一直吼叫，不让牛吃干草。一头牛对同伴说：“看，多么自私的一条狗啊！它自己不能吃干草，也想尽办法不让我们去吃。”
