THE FROGS' COMPLAINT AGAINST THE SUN

Once upon a time the Sun was about to take to himself a wife. The Frogs in terror all raised their voices to the skies, and Jupiter, disturbed by the noise, asked them what they were croaking about. They replied, “The Sun is bad enough even while he is single, drying up our marshes with his heat as he does. But what will become of us if he marries and begets other Suns?”

青蛙怨日

从前有一回，太阳想要娶个妻子，青蛙们都惊恐不安，提高了声音向天空鸣叫，朱庇特听到了这噪音，就问他们为什么叫唤。他们回答说：“太阳单身的时候已经够恶毒了，总是把我们的沼泽烤干。如果他结了婚生了小太阳我们会如何呢？”
