Mr. Rabbit and Mr. Wolf
One day Mr. Rabbit was walking near the hill; he heard someone crying out, " Help! Help!" He looked this way and that way, and he saw poor Mr. Wolf. A great stone had fallen on Mr. Wolf's back, and he could not get up. He cried, "Mr. Rabbit, take this great stone from my back or I shall die."
Mr. Rabbit worked very hard and got the stone from Mr. Wolf's back. Then Mr. Wolf jumped up and caught Mr. Rabbit in his mouth.
"If you kill me," cried Mr. Rabbit, "I will never help you again as long as I live."
"You will not live," said Mr. Wolf, "because I shall have killed you."
"No nice person kills a person who has helped him," said Mr. Rabbit; "it is not just. You ask Mrs. Duck: she is very fat and she knows everything. She will say that no nice person would do a thing like that."
"I will ask her," said Mr. Wolf, "and if she does not say what I want, I shall eat her too."
So Mr. Wolf and Mr. Rabbit went to Mrs. Duck. Mr. Wolf said, "I caught Mr. Rabbit when he was sitting down near the hill. So I say that I should eat him. Now say what you think."
"I took a great big stone from his back," said Mr. Rabbit; "So I say that he should not eat me, because I helped him. Now say what you think. "What stone?" said Mrs. Duck.
"A stone near the hill," said Mr. Rabbit.
"I must see it," said Mrs. Duck. "How can I say what I think if I have not seen the stone?"
So Mr. Wolf and Mr. Rabbit and Mrs. Duck went to see the stone.
"Now, put the stone just as it was," said Mrs. Duck.
So they put the stone back where it was.
"No," said Mrs. Duck, "that is not just as it was. You said that the stone was on Mr. Wolf's back."
So they put the stone on Mr. Wolf's back.
"Now," said Mr. Wolf, "you see just how it was. What do you say about it?"
Mr. Rabbit and Mrs. Duck said, "We say that we are going home. And you may ask some other person to take the stone from your back. You look very nice like that; stay just as you are!"
【譯文】
兔子和狼
一天,兔子先生正在山坡附近遛噠,他聽到有人在呼救:“救命呀!救命呀!”他這邊瞧瞧,那邊望望,他發(fā)現(xiàn)了可憐的狼先生,一塊大石頭掉下來壓在狼先生的背上,他起不來了。他喊道:“兔先生,把這塊大石頭從我背上搬開,要不然我會(huì)死的?!?BR> 兔子好不容易把大石頭從狼背上搬開,這時(shí),狼跳起來,把兔子叼在嘴里。
“如果你吃了我,”兔子叫喊著,“只要我還活著,我再也不幫你的忙了。”
“你不會(huì)活了,”狼說,“因?yàn)槲乙粤四懔恕!?BR> “好人是不會(huì)殺救過他命的恩人的,”兔子說,“這很不公平,你去問鴨子夫人,她很胖,她樣樣事情都通曉,她一定會(huì)說沒有一個(gè)好人會(huì)干出這種事情來?!?BR> “我去問她”,狼說,“如果她不是按我所想的那么說,乙慘?閹?緣簟!?/P>
于是,狼和兔子到了鴨子家。狼說:“當(dāng)兔子先生在山坡附近坐下時(shí),我抓住了他,因此,我要吃掉他?,F(xiàn)在你來談?wù)勀闶窃鯓酉氲陌??!?BR> “我從他的背上搬開好大的一塊石頭,”兔子說,“因此,我說他不應(yīng)該吃掉我,因?yàn)槲揖攘怂,F(xiàn)在你說說你的看法吧?!?BR> “什么石頭?”鴨子夫人問。
“山附近一塊石頭,”兔子說。
“我必須去看看,”鴨子說,“如果我連那塊石頭也沒有看見,那我怎么說得出我的看法?”
于是,狼、兔子和鴨子一起去看那塊石頭。
“現(xiàn)在,按原來的樣子把石頭放好,”鴨子說。
于是,他們把石頭搬回原處。
“不,”鴨子說,“那不是原來的樣子,你不是說那塊石頭壓在狼的背上嗎?”
于是,把石頭放在狼的背上。
“現(xiàn)在,”狼先生說,“你看好了原來就是這個(gè)樣子,你還能說什么嗎?”
兔子先生和鴨子夫人說:“我們要說我們打算回家了,你可以求別人來搬開你背上的石頭,你這樣呆著多好呀,你就這樣呆著吧!”
