小学英语阅读：The Ox and the Dog

The Ox and the Dog

An ox and a dog serve for the same farmer.

One day the dog arrogantly says： “How grand I am！ In the daytime， I watch out for the cattle in the meadows； at night， I guard the house. But you…”

“Me？ How about me ？” the ox says

“You can only plough or draw a cart，” the dog slightly says.

“Yes. It’s true，” the ox says. “But if I don’t plough， what do you guard？”

牛和狗

一头牛和一只狗同时为一个农夫工作。

一天， 狗骄傲地说着；‘我是多么重要啊！白天我在牧场看护家群，晚上我看家。而你呢…..？”

“我？我怎么啦？“ 牛反问。

“你只会犁地或是拉扯。”狗不懈地说。

“是的。你说得没有错，”牛回答道。“但是如果没有我犁地，你看护什么呢？”
