A pig found his way into a meadow where a flock of sheep were grazing. The shepherd caught him, and was proceeding1 to carry him off to the butcher's when he set up a loud squealing2 and struggled to get free. The sheep rebuked3 him for making such a to-do, and said to him, "The shepherd catches us regularly and drags us off just like that, and we don't make any fuss." "No, I dare say not," replied the pig, "but my case and yours are altogether different: he only wants you for wool, but he wants me for bacon."

　　有一頭豬跑進(jìn)正在牧場(chǎng)里吃草的羊群中，牧羊人抓住了他，要把他送到屠夫那里，豬鬼哭狼嚎般拼命掙扎著想逃出來(lái)。羊群指責(zé)他大驚小怪，對(duì)豬說：“我們經(jīng)常被牧羊人抓住，就像剛才那樣被拖走，可從來(lái)不這樣喊叫。”豬回答說：“我和你們絕對(duì)不一樣，他抓你是為了你的毛，抓我卻是為了吃我的肉呀。”
