　　The Frog and the Ox

　　"Oh Father," said a little Frog to the big one sitting by the side of a pool, "I have seen such a terrible monster!

　　"No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink of my well." "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother′s milk is both food and drink to me." On which the Wolf seized him, and ate him up, saying, "Well! I won′t remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations."The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.

　　小羊回答說：「不，好先生，我還未曾嘗過草的味道呢?！估怯终f：「你喝過我井里的水?！剐⊙蚪械溃骸覆?，我從沒有喝過水，因為直到今天為止，我都是吃著母親的奶汁。」狼一聽這話，便抓住它，把它吃下去，便說：「好!即使你駁倒我每一句話，我終究要吃晚餐的!」暴君總有他暴行的借口。
