2.狼和小羊, The Wolf and the Lamb (láng hé xiǎo yáng)

zài hěn jiǔ yǐ qián ，yǒu yī zhī láng zǒu dào shān de quán shuǐ páng biān ，

在很久以前，有一只狼走到山的泉水旁边，

dāng tā tái qǐ tóu shí ，kàn jiàn yī zhī xiǎo yáng zài bù yuǎn de dì fāng zhèng yào hē shuǐ 。  

当它抬起头时， 看见一只小羊在不远的地方正要喝水。

tā zài xiǎng ， rú guǒ wǒ néng zhǎo dào shén me jiè kǒu jiù bǎ tā zhuā zhù ，wǒ jiù huì chī dào yī dùn  měi cān 。

它在想，如果我能找到什么借口就把它抓住，我就会吃到一顿美餐。

yú shì ， láng duìzhe xiǎo yáng rang zhe shuō ： 

于是，狼对着小羊嚷着说：

“ nǐ zěn me bǎ shuǐ nòng zāng ， shǐ wǒ hē bù dào gān jìng de quán shuǐ ne ？” 。

“你怎么把水弄脏，使我喝不到干净的泉水呢？”。

xiǎo yáng shuō： “ bù shì de ！ zhǔ rén ， zhè shuǐ shì cóng nǐ nà lǐ liú guò lái de ，wǒ bù kě néng huì nòng zàng shuǐ 。

小羊说：“不是的！主人，这水是从你那里流过来的，我不可能会弄脏水。

láng jiē zhe yòu shuō ： “ nà nǐ qù nián wèi shén me mà wǒ ？”

狼接着又说：“那你去年为什么骂我？”

xiǎo yáng shuō ： “ zěn me kě néng ne ？ wǒ xiàn zài zhǐ yǒu liù gè yuè dà ” 。

小羊说：“怎么可能呢？我现在只有六个月大”。

láng páo xiào zhe shuō ： “ wǒ bù guǎn ， rú guǒ bù shì nǐ ， jiù shì nǐ bà bà 。”

狼咆哮着说：“我不管，如果不是你，就是你爸爸。”

láng shuō zhe jiù chōng xiàng kě lián de xiǎo yáng ， bǎ tā yǎo zhù dà kǒu dà kǒu de chī le。

狼说着就冲向可怜的小羊，把它咬住大口大口地吃了。

xiǎo yáng lín sǐ qián hǎn jiào ： “ yù jiā zhī zuì ， hé huàn wú cí 。 ”

小羊临死前喊叫：“欲加之罪，何患无词。”

Once upon a time a Wolf was lapping at a spring on a hillside,

zài hěn jiǔ yǐ qián ，yǒu yī zhī láng zǒu dào shān de quán shuǐ páng biān ，

when, looking up, what should he see but a Lamb just beginning to drink a little lower down.  

dāng tā tái qǐ tóu shí ，kàn jiàn yī zhī xiǎo yáng zài bù yuǎn de dì fāng zhèng yào hē shuǐ 。  

"There's my supper," thought he, "if only I can find some excuse to seize it."  

tā zài xiǎng ， rú guǒ wǒ néng zhǎo dào shén me jiè kǒu jiù bǎ tā zhuā zhù ，wǒ jiù huì chī dào yī dùn  měi cān 。

Then he called out to the Lamb, 

yú shì ， láng duìzhe xiǎo yáng rang zhe shuō ： 

"How dare you muddle the water from which I am drinking?"

“ nǐ zěn me bǎ shuǐ nòng zāng ， shǐ wǒ hē bù dào gān jìng de quán shuǐ ne ？” 。

"Nay, master, nay," said Lambikin; "if the water be muddy up there, I cannot be the cause of it, for it runs down from you to me."

xiǎo yáng shuō： “ bù shì de ！ zhǔ rén ， zhè shuǐ shì cóng nǐ nà lǐ liú guò lái de ，wǒ bù kě néng huì nòng zàng shuǐ 。

"Well, then," said the Wolf, "why did you call me bad names this time last year?"

láng jiē zhe yòu shuō ： “ nà nǐ qù nián wèi shén me mà wǒ ？”

"That cannot be," said the Lamb; "I am only six months old."

xiǎo yáng shuō ： “ zěn me kě néng ne ？ wǒ xiàn zài zhǐ yǒu liù gè yuè dà ” 。

"I don't care," snarled the Wolf; "if it was not you it was your father;"

and with that he rushed upon the poor little Lamb and WARRA WARRA WARRA WARRA WARRA

láng shuō zhe jiù chōng xiàng kě lián de xiǎo yáng ， bǎ tā yǎo zhù dà kǒu dà kǒu de chī le。

ate her all up.  But before she died she gasped out."Any excuse will serve a tyrant."

xiǎo yáng lín sǐ qián hǎn jiào ： “ yù jiā zhī zuì ， hé huàn wú cí 。 ”
