那些給我智慧和勇氣的寓言故事13：貪婪的獾

　　One day, at a farmhouse, a hunting dog saw a fox catching a fat hen. The fox held the hen in its jaws and ran off into the jungle. The hunting dog chased the fox who could not run fast enough because of the hen held between his jaws.

　　有一天，狐貍在農(nóng)舍偷肥母雞時被獵狗發(fā)現(xiàn)了。狐貍叼起那只雞拼命地往森林里逃。狐貍因?yàn)榈鹬鸽u，跑不快，獵狗在后面緊追不舍。

　　When the fox passed by a badger outside his cave, the fox put down the dead hen and said,“Brother Badger, I have stolen this hen from a farm. Would you please hide it in your cave first, and we can enjoy our dinner later together?”

　　這時，正巧碰到一只獾在洞口附近徘徊，狐貍放下那只死雞，說道：“獾老弟，我從農(nóng)舍偷了一只肥母雞，你先叼回洞里去吧，晚上咱們一同分享好嗎?”

　　The badger happily carried the big fat hen into his cave while the fox quickly ran off.

　　獾興高采烈地把它叼進(jìn)洞穴里去了。狐貍飛快地逃走了。

　　The hunting dog reached the cave and stopped when he saw some blood stains at the entrance.

　　獵狗追到這個洞時便停了下來，因?yàn)樗匆姸囱ㄈ肟谔幱须u的血跡。

　　The badger shouted from inside the cave,“Dear Hunting Dog, the chicken was stolen by the fox. I am not the one responsible!”

　　獾在洞里嚇得大叫：“獵狗大叔，雞是狐貍偷的，不關(guān)我事!”

　　The hunting dog replied,“The fox was a thief but you are a greedy badger!”The hunting dog immediately went inside the cave and killed the badger.

　　獵狗呵斥道：“狐貍是盜賊，而你是貪便宜的同謀!”獵狗立即跑進(jìn)洞里咬死了獾。
