home and get into bed. I’ll go to the rabbit
and tell
him that you are dead. If he comes to
see you, you’ll
jump up and catch him.”“Good
idea,” said the fox, “I’ll
do that.” Then fox
ran home and got into bed. The
wolf went to
the rabbit’s house and said, “Mr. Rabbit,
have
you heard Mr. Fox is dead?” The wolf stood at
the door, and then he went away.“Really? I
haven’t
heard anything about it.” The rabbit
said to himself, so
he decided to go and see
if it was true. He went to the
fox’s house and
looked in through the window. He
saw the fox
lying in bed. He opened the door and
went in.
he looked at the fox and said, “Mr. Wolf says
is dead, but he doesn’t look like a dead fox. A
dead fox always open his mouth.” When the fox
heard
this, he thought, “I’ll show him that I
am dead.” So he
opened his mouth.
The
rabbit saw the fox open his mouth, and he knew
the fox was not dead. He ran out of the house
as fast

就快要死了。”
“为什么不帮我呢?”狗说,“我们按时工作,

regularly. You could do the
same. You can help
me guard the sleep. In that
way, I will not
worry about your stealing the
sleep, and you
will not worry about going

the dog is
right. So they walk to the dog’s

on the neck.
My master chains me up at night,”
“Chained up!” shouts the wolf, “Do you mean
that you are chained up at night? If I come to
live with you, will I be chained up at night,
too?”
“That’s night,” says the dog, “But,
you’ll get
used to it.”
“But, if I am
chained up, I won’t be free.” After
saying
this, the wolf turns round and runs away.
The
dog shouts, “Wait! Come back! I’m not free,
but I’m healthy. I have good food, and a warm
place to sleep. I like enjoying life. In fact,
I’m
freer than you are.”

了。正走着,狼看见口脖子上
的毛很少。他觉得好奇,就问狗怎么回事。
“啊,别担心,”狗说,“这是系狗项圈的地
方,晚上主人会把我拴起来。”
“拴起来?”狼叫起来,“你是说晚上你会拴
起来?如果我去和你住,晚上也会被拴起
来?”
“没错,”狗说,“但是你会习惯的。”
“但是,如果被拴起来,我就不自由了。”说完,
狼转身跑了。
狗大声喊道:“等等
