THE KID ON THE HOUSETOP

A Kid climbed up on to the roof of an outhouse, attracted by the grass and other things that grew in the thatch; and as he stood there browsing away, he caught sight of a Wolf passing below, and jeered at him because he couldn't reach him. The Wolf only looked up and said, “I hear you, my young friend; but it is not you who mock me, but the roof on which you are standing.”

屋顶上的小羊

有一只小羊被一栋房子的茅草屋顶上生长的草和其他东西吸引，爬到了屋顶上。他站在屋顶上吃草的时候看到下面有一只狼经过，他将狼奚落了一番，因为狼没有办法上屋顶抓他。狼只是抬头向上看着他，说：“你说的我都听到了，小朋友，不过能让我受挫的可不是你，而是你所站立的屋顶。”
