The Wolf and the Lamb 狼和小羊

The Wolf and the Lamb（狼和小羊）

Once upon a time a wolf was drinking water at a brook on a hillside. When he looked up, he saw a little lamb beginning to drink water a little down. The wolf wanted to eat the lamb. He thought he could catch the lamb by a trick. He said to the lamb. “You are making the water dirty, and I cannot drink it.” The lamb said, “Am I making the water dirty? That is impossible. You see, you are higher up than I. The water runs down from you to me, so I cannot make it dirty." " Well, then," said the wolf, " for I was  born this year." " I don’ t care,"  cried the wolf." If it was not you, it was probably your father."  Then the wolf could say no more, and went away.
