A GREedy dog went into a butcher’s shop and stole a big juicy bone. He ran away so fast that the butcher could not catch him. He ran out into the fields with his bone. He was going to eat it all by himself.
(一只貪心的狗跑到一家豬肉店偷了一根很大又有髓的骨頭.他跑很快,所以那個賣豬肉的人追不到他.他咬著他的大骨頭跑到空曠的地方,準備要好好地吃個痛快.)
the dog came to a stream. There was a narrow bridge across it. The dog walked on to the bridge, and looked into the water. He could see another dog with a big bone in his mouth.
(這只狗來到一條溪流.有一座窄窄的橋跨在上面.這只狗走到橋上,望水里面看.他看見另一只狗嘴里咬著一跟大骨頭.)
the GREedy dog thought the bone in the water looked much bigger than the one he had stolen from the butcher.
(這只貪心的狗認為在水里面的那根骨頭看起來比他跟賣肉的偷來的這根骨頭大多了.)
the GREedy dog dropped the bone from his mouth. It fell into the water and was lost. He jumped into the water to snatch the bigger bone from the other dog.
(這只貪心的狗從嘴理丟了那根骨頭.它掉到水里而且不見了.他跳進去水里面想從另一只狗那兒抓那跟更大的骨頭.)
the GREedy dog jumped into the water with a big splash. He looked everywhere but he could not see the other dog. His shadow had gone.
(貪心的狗跳進水里濺起好多水花.他到處看,可是都找不到其他的狗.他的倒影不見了.)
the silly dog went home hungry. He lost his bone and got nothing because he had been too GREedy.
(這只笨狗餓著肚子回家.因為太貪心,他弄丟了他的骨頭而且一點東西也沒拿到.)
