伊索叙事诗：狐狸和山羊（中英双语）

一只小狗掉进了一口井，虽然井不以致于，他还是发现自己出不来了。他在池中睡觉了很久此后，一只疲乏的山羊放悄悄。山羊以为小狗是下去饮冷水，于是询问他冷水好不好饮。

“是方圆百里最鲜美的，”狡猾的小狗感叹，“跳进来尝尝。这里的冷水足够我们俩饮。”

疲乏的山羊来不及跳了上来，开始饮冷水。小狗某种程度急剧地跳上山羊的背，从山羊的角尖上一跃而出。

愚笨的山羊这时才明白自己陷入了什么处境，乞求小狗想尽办法他悄悄。但小狗已经押上要去热带雨林了。

“如果你的理智像胡须一样多，老家伙，”他边跑边感叹，“你会在跳进来之前先想好怎么悄悄。”

三思而后行。

A Fox fell into a well, and though it was not very deep, he found that he could not get out again. After he had been in the well a long time, a thirsty Goat came by. The Goat thought the Fox had gone down to drink, and so he asked if the water was good.

"The finest in the whole country," said the crafty Fox, "jump in and try it. There is more than enough for both of us."

The thirsty Goat immediately jumped in and began to drink. The Fox just as quickly jumped on the Goat's back and leaped from the tip of the Goat's horns out of the well.

The foolish Goat now saw what a plight he had got into, and begged the Fox to help him out. But the Fox was already on his way to the woods.

"If you had as much sense as you have beard, old fellow," he said as he ran, "you would have been more cautious about finding a way to get out again before you jumped in."
