An ox and a dog serve for the same farmer. One day the dog arrogantly1 says: "How grand I am! In the daytime, I watch out for the cattle in the meadows; at night, I guard the house. But you…"

　　"Me? How about me ?" the ox says

　　"You can only plough or draw a cart," the dog slightly says. "Yes. It's true," the ox says. "But if I don't plough, what do you guard?"

　　一頭牛和一只狗同時為一個農(nóng)夫工作。狗驕傲地說著：“我是多么重要?。“滋煳以谀翀隹醋o家群，晚上我看家。而你呢…..?”

　　“我？我怎么啦？”

　　牛反問。“你只會犁地或是拉扯。”狗不懈地說。“是的。你說得沒有錯，”?；卮鸬?。“但是如果沒有我犁地，你看護什么呢？”
