有一个农夫长期在一个法官家干活。他养了一只兔子，它和他很亲热，他们经常在一起说心里话。
There is a farmer who has been working in a judge's house for a long time. He keeps a rabbit. He is very intimate with him. They often talk with each other.
一天早晨，法官正在睡觉，忽然听见一阵轰隆隆的声音。便问正在院子里干活的农夫，农夫说：“是大车啊！”阴险的法官本来就想给这个农夫找岔子，就故意说：“如果不是大车怎么办？”农夫随便说：“如果不是，我把我的脑袋给你。”法官高兴地答应了。
One morning, the judge was sleeping when he heard a rumble. He asked the farmer who was working in the yard. "It's a cart!" he said The insidious judge, who had wanted to find fault with the farmer, deliberately said, "what if it's not a cart?" The farmer said casually, "if not, I'll give you my head." The judge agreed happily.
轰隆隆的东西过来了，农夫说：“看，是大车吧！”而法官却指着大车问了一大串的关于车上零件的问题，农夫一一如实地回答了。并没有说“大车”二字。法官笑了笑说：“把脑袋拿来吧”!农夫说：“我说的就是这辆大车呀”！法官说：“那我刚才问你的时候，你怎么一句大车都没说？”老实的农夫不知该怎么说才对。
When the rumbling things came, the farmer said, "look, it's a cart!" But the judge pointed to the cart and asked a series of questions about the parts on the cart. The farmer answered them truthfully one by one. I didn't say "big car". The judge smiled and said, "bring your head!" the farmer said, "I'm talking about this cart!"! The judge said, "when I asked you, why didn't you say a word about the cart?" The honest farmer didn't know what to say.
正在这时候，兔子在一旁说话了，兔子问，是什么问题呀？农夫把事情从头到尾地说了一遍。兔子说：“既然你答应了人家，就应该守信用。”农夫听了这话，急得不知道该怎么办，法官得意地说：“脑袋给我吧！”
At this time, the rabbit was talking. The rabbit asked, what's the problem? The farmer told the story from the beginning to the end. The rabbit said, "since you promised, you should keep your promise." When the farmer heard this, he was so worried that he didn't know what to do. The judge said proudly, "give me your head!"
这时，兔子指着农夫的头发问法官：“这是什么。”法官说：“是头发。”兔子又问：“头发下面呢？”法官说：“是头皮。”“头皮下面呢？兔子问，“是头骨”法官回答。“头骨下面呢？”兔子继续问，法官回答;“是脑髓”。兔子又说：“怎么没有您说的脑袋呀？”自作聪敏的法官理屈词穷，只好无可奈何地放了农夫，自己灰溜溜地溜走了。
At this time, the rabbit pointed to the farmer's hair and asked the judge, "what is this?" The judge said, "it's hair." "What about under the hair?" the rabbit asked The judge said, "it's the scalp." "Under the scalp? The rabbit asked, "it's the skull," the judge replied. "And under the skull?" The rabbit continued, and the judge replied, "it's the brain.". The rabbit said, "how come you don't have a head?" As a wise judge, he had no choice but to let the farmer go.
