外教读睡前故事 | The Donkey and the Dog 驴和狗

一起来听听今天的睡前故事吧~↓↓↓

A man had a little dog, and he was very fond of it. He would pat its head, and take it on his knee, and talk to it. Then he would give it little bits of food from his own plate.

男人养了一只小狗。他别提多喜欢了，会轻轻拍它的头，把它抱在腿上和它说话。而且，他还会从自己的盘子里拿食物喂给小狗。

A donkey looked in at the window and saw the man and the dog.
驴朝窗户里望，看到了主人和狗。

"Why does he not make a pet of me?" said the donkey. 
“他为什么不宠爱我呢?”驴说。

"It is not fair. I work hard, and the dog only wags its tail, and barks, and jumps on its master's knee. It is not fair."

“这不公平。我工作努力，狗只会摇尾巴，叫唤，在主人的膝盖上跳来跳去。这是不公平的。”

Then the donkey said to himself, "If I do what the dog does, he may make a pet of me."
然后驴对自己说，“如果我也做和狗一样的事，他可能会宠爱我。”

So the donkey ran into the room. It brayed as loudly as it could. It wagged its tail so hard that it knocked over a jar on the table. Then it tried to jump onto its master's knee.

所以驴子跑进房间，使劲地叫唤，努力地摇摆尾巴，结果打翻了放在桌子上罐子。然后，还试图跳到主人的膝盖上。

The master thought the donkey was mad, and he shouted, "Help! Help!" Men came running in with sticks, and they beat the donkey till it ran out of the house. They drove it back to the field.
主人认为驴子疯了，他喊道：“救命！救命！“男人们带着棍子跑了过来，他们把驴打出了房间，赶回了田野。

"I only did what the dog does," said the donkey， " and yet they make a pet of the dog."

“我只是做了狗做的事，”驴说：“但他们却只宠爱狗。”

But then, a little boy walked by into the field and saw the donkey, and the boy said, "Donkey! You look like you need a friend!" Donkey said, "Oh yes! I would love a friend of my own!"

一个小男孩走过田野，看见了驴。男孩说：“驴！看起来你需要一个朋友！”驴说：“哦，是的！我会珍惜属于我的朋友的！”

The donkey and the boy became the best of friends and lived happily ever after.

驴子和男孩成为了最好的朋友，永远幸福地生活在一起。
