The Dog That Had a Bad Friend 交友不慎的狗

Once there was a fox who lived in a jungle. He always went to look for food in a village that was not far from where he lived.

One day, the fox went to a village near the jungle. There he met a dog who was guarding his master's house.“How are you, my friend?”asked the fox.

“I'm fine, thank you，”said the dog.

“Why do you sit here?Let's go and look for some food，”said the fox.

The dog felt so while his master had not given him enough food to eat.

“Where shall we go?”asked the dog.

“Let's go and eat some chickens and ducks，”answered the fox.

The dog was very happy to hear the fox's answer. He told the fox he preferred a chicken.

“You can have that, but you must help me，”said the fox.

“All right，”replied the dog.

The fox took the dog to a farm not far from there. The dog was very eager to eat the chicken.

“We can't go into the farm now，”said the fox.“We must wait until it is dark. At night the farmer won't be able to see us.”

“All right，”said the dog.

That night, the fox and the dog entered the farm. The dog was worried about being caught by the farmer.

“Don't worry. I have stolen ten chickens before and I have never been caught，”said the fox.

“That was before，”said the dog.“What will happen if the farmer sees us tonight?”

“If the farmer sees us, we'll run away quickly，”said the fox.

“How will I run?”he asked.“I'm not used to this place.”

“You just have to run into the jungle，”replied the fox.“The farmer won't chase after you in the jungle.”

“All right, I'll do that，”said the dog.

At last they reached the chicken coop. They were quite unlucky that night.The fox and the dog both fell into a trap set by the farmer.They cried out in fear.The farmer heard their cries and woke up from his sleep.“It must be that nasty fox，”said the farmer, getting up quickly.The farmer switched on the light and went to the chicken coop.He saw a fox and a dog in the trap.

“Oh, it isn't enough that you came to steal, but you also brought along a friend，”said the farmer.“You are both equally bad！”

The farmer took a piece of wood and beat the fox and the dog.

Then the farmer told his wife，“The dog became friends with the fox. Because of that he became a thief too！”

森林里住著一只狐貍。它時常跑到附近的村子里偷吃的。

有一天，這只狐貍悄悄地溜進森林附近的村子里來。它碰見了一只看門狗?！澳愫脝幔笥?？”狐貍問。

“我很好，謝謝?！惫坊貞?。

“你為什么待在這兒呢？走吧，我們一起去找好吃的吧?！焙傉f。

狗覺得可以，因為它在主人家連飯都吃不飽。

狗問道：“那我們該去哪兒呢？”

“我們去抓些雞鴨來吃?！焙偦卮鸬?。

狗聽狐貍這么說，十分高興。它告訴狐貍它想要一只雞。

“你可以得到的，但你必須幫我?！焙傉f。

“好的。”狗回答道。

于是狐貍帶著狗到了不遠處的一個農場里。狗非常急切地想吃雞。

“我們現在還不能進去，”狐貍說，“我們得等天黑了才能摸進去，晚上我們就不會被農夫發(fā)現了?！?/p>

“那好的。”狗說。

到了晚上，狐貍和狗偷偷地潛入農場里。狗心里忐忑不安，非常擔心被農夫抓個正著。

“別擔心。我曾偷過他們的十多只雞，從來沒被抓住過。”狐貍說。

“那是以前的事，”狗說，“如果碰巧今晚被人發(fā)現怎么辦？”

“如果被人發(fā)現，我們就快快逃跑呀！”狐貍說。

“我該往哪里跑呢，”它問，“我不熟悉這地方?！?/p>

“往森林里跑就行啦！”狐貍回答道，“農場主不會到森林里追你的?！?/p>

“好吧，就聽你的。”狗說。

最后，它們來到雞舍，那天晚上它們很不走運。狐貍和狗都掉進了農場設置的陷阱里，它們害怕得大叫起來。它們的叫聲驚醒了睡夢中的農場主?！翱隙ㄊ墙苹暮倎砹??！鞭r場主說，并快速起來，下床點亮燈就去了雞舍。在陷阱里，他發(fā)現了一只狐貍和一只狗。

“哼！你自個兒來偷還不夠，還帶了個朋友來?！鞭r場主說，“你們兩個都不是好東西！”

農場主拿起一根木棍狠狠地朝狐貍和狗的身上打去。

過后，農場主對他的妻子說：“這只看門狗交上了狐貍這種朋友，因此它自己也變成了小偷?！?/p>
