A Goat was straying in a vineyard, and began to browse on the tender shoots of a Vine which bore several fine bunches of grapes. “What have I done to you,” said the Vine, “that you should harm me thus? Isn't there grass enough for you to feed on? All the same, even if you eat up every leaf I have, and leave me quite bare, I shall produce wine enough to pour over you when you are led to the altar to be sacrificed.”
一只羊迷路走进了葡萄园，然后便开始吃葡萄藤上的嫩叶，那藤上有好几串葡萄。葡萄藤问：“我到底做错了什么，你为何要如此伤害我？难道你没有足够的草吃吗？尽管如此，即便你吃光了我所有的叶子，让我光秃秃的，我也会产出足够的葡萄，酿出足够的酒，当你躺在祭坛上做祭品时浇在你身上。”
