A Wolf caught sight of a Goat browsing above him on the scanty herbage that grew on the top of a steep rock; and being unable to get at her, tried to induce her to come lower down. “You are risking your life up there, madam, indeed you are,” he called out, “pray take my advice and come down here, where you will find plenty of better food.” The Goat turned a knowing eye upon him. “It's little you care whether I get good grass or bad,” said she, “what you want is to eat me.”
有一只狼看到一只山羊在陡峭的山崖顶上吃草，狼想吃羊，却爬不上去，于是想引诱山羊下来。“夫人啊，你怎么冒着生命危险去了那高处啊？请你接受我的建议，快快下来吧，这里能找到更多更好的食物。”山羊颇有深意地看了看狼，说：“你可不怎么关心我吃到的草是好是坏，你想吃的是我。”
