The wolves and the dogs 狼群和狗群（中英）

Once upon a time the Wolves said to the Dogs, “Why should we continue to be enemies any longer? You are very like us in most ways: the main difference between us is one of training only. We live a life of freedom; but you are enslaved to mankind, who beat you, and put heavy collars round your necks, and compel you to keep watch over their flocks and herds for them, and, to crown all, they give you nothing but bones to eat. Don’t put up with it any longer, but hand over the flocks to us, and we will all live on the fat of the land and feast together.” The Dogs allowed themselves to be persuaded by these words, and accompanied the Wolves into their den. But no sooner were they well inside than the Wolves set upon them and tore them to pieces.

从前，有一群狼对一群狗说：“为什么我们要一直成为敌人呢？从各方面来看，你们和我们都很相像，咱们之间唯一的区别仅仅是受驯不同而已。我们过着自由自在的日子，而你们却成了人类的奴隶，他们不仅鞭打你们，还给你们套上沉重的颈圈，迫使你们去看守羊群和牲畜。总而言之，除了让你们啃骨头之外，人类什么也没给你们。别再忍受他们的折磨了，直接把羊群交给我们，我们一起到肥沃的草场里生活吧，我们一起去享受。”那群狗被狼的一番话说动了心，跟随狼群来到他们的窝里。结果，刚一进去，狼群就向狗群发起进攻，杀得他们片甲不留。
