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."
一條狗躺在馬槽中,不停地叫,不讓馬吃干草。一匹馬對同伴說:“這條狗太自私了!他自己不會(huì)吃干草,還不讓會(huì)吃的去吃。”
這故事是說那些總是不愿別人得到好處的人。
