The Thirsty Dog
A dog is very thirsty. But he only sees some empty pails. There is no water in them. The dog goes on looking for water. He comes to a small house. There is a girl in it. The girl goes out with a pail. "She goes to a well," the dog thinks and follows her. The dog is right. The girl comes to a well and puts down the pail, and the pail is full of water, there the girl goes back to her house.
" Water! Great!" the dog says and runs to the well. He jumps into the well without thought."
The water is good. The dog is happy and drinks much. But he can't jump out of the well. He waits and waits. But no one comes. "I'm hungry now. I must go out," he thinks.
At the time a thirsty goat comes to the well. He looks at the water and the dog. "Is the water good?" the goat asks. " Of course. Come down," the dog says. Then the goat jumps into the well, too. Then dog is happy. He jumps on the goat's back and jumps out of the well.
The dog has a look at the goat and says, "Goodbye!" Then he leaves.
一只口渴的狗
有一只狗口很渴,他只找到一些空空的水桶,里面没有水。他继续找水。他来到一座小房子前面。房子里住着一个小姑娘。小姑娘拎着只水桶出来了。 "她要去打水。"狗想道,并跟在她后面。果然不错,小姑娘来到一口井边,把水桶放入井里,水桶水满了。然后小姑娘回去了。
"水!太好了!"狗叫着跑过去。他想也没想就跳下井去了。
井水真的不错。狗可高兴了。喝了许多水,但是他没有办法跳出来了。他等了好久,但是没有人来。 "我饿了,我得出去。"他想着。
这时候一只口渴的山羊到井边来了,他看了看井水和这只狗。"这水好和吗?"山羊问狗:"当然了。快下来吧。"狗回答说。于是山羊也跳到井里了。狗高兴极了。他跳上山羊的背,又跳出了水井。
狗看了一眼山羊说声:"再见。"就跑开了。
