A Dog was chasing a Wolf, and as he ran he thought what a fine fellow he was, and what strong legs he had, and how quickly they covered the ground. “Now, there's this Wolf,” he said to himself, “what a poor creature he is: he's no match for me, and he knows it and so he runs away.” But the Wolf looked round just then and said, “Don't you imagine I'm running away from you, my friend: it's your master I'm afraid of.”
有一只狗在追一只狼，他一边跑一边想：我的身体多棒呀，我的腿多强壮呀，我是多么迅猛地飞奔在大地上啊。他自言自语：“这只狼真是可怜，根本无法与我匹敌，他有自知之明，所以才逃跑。”而狼只是回头看了看，说：“伙计，不要以为我是害怕你，我怕的是你的主人。”
