雙語(yǔ)·《伊索寓言》 驢和老農(nóng)民

THE ASS AND THE OLD PEASANT

An old Peasant was sitting in a meadow watching his Ass, which was grazing close by, when all of a sudden he caught sight of armed men stealthily approaching. He jumped up in a moment, and begged the Ass to fly with him as fast as he could, “Or else,” said he, “we shall both be captured by the enemy.” But the Ass just looked round lazily and said, “And if so, do you think they'll make me carry heavier loads than I have to now?” “No!” said his master. “Oh, well, then,” said the Ass, “I don't mind if they do take me, for I shan't be any worse off.”
