A Farmer was snowed up in his farmstead by a severe storm, and was unable to go out and procure provisions for himself and his family. So he first killed his sheep and used them for food; then, as the storm still continued, he killed his goats; and, last of all, as the weather showed no signs of improving, he was compelled to kill his oxen and eat them. When his Dogs saw the various animals being killed and eaten in turn, they said to one another, “We had better get out of this or we shall be the next to go!”
有一个农夫因为一场严重的暴风雪被困在了农庄里，没有办法出去获得补给。于是他把自己养的绵羊杀掉了，将绵羊肉当作食物。但是暴风雪还在继续，于是他又杀了山羊。天气还是没有好转，于是他又杀了牛，吃了牛肉。农夫养的几条狗看着其他动物被挨个儿杀掉吃光之后，便说道：“咱们最好能快点摆脱这种状况，要不然就轮到咱们被吃掉了！”
