The wolf the mother and her child狼、妈妈和孩子（中英）

A hungry Wolf was prowling about in search of food. By and by, attracted by the cries of a Child, he came to a cottage. As he crouched beneath the window, he heard the Mother say to the Child, “Stop crying, do! or I’ll throw you to the Wolf.” Thinking she really meant what she said, he waited there a long time in the expectation of satisfying his hunger. In the evening he heard the Mother fondling her Child and saying, “If the naughty Wolf comes, he shan’t get my little one: Daddy will kill him.” The Wolf got up in much disgust and walked away: “As for the people in that house,” said he to himself, “you can’t believe a word they say.”

一只饥饿的狼四处寻觅食物。走着走着，他被小孩子的哭声吸引，来到了一个农舍。他在窗下屏息而立，只听到母亲对小孩子说：“别哭了，不然我就把你扔出去喂狼。”狼信以为真，以为她真会这样做，便站在门外等着，期待着快点能满足自己的食欲。直到傍晚来临，他又听见母亲在哄小孩子：“要是狼真的来了，爸爸就会杀死他的。”狼听了这话后，气愤地赶紧跑开了，他边跑边想：“那个房子里的人说的话，一句也不能信。”
