The Farmer and the Goats (1)

農夫與山羊 (1)

One stormy winter night, a farmer noted that another farmer's goats were on his land. He was quite excited. "If these new goats stay here, I can sell them in the spring," he thought.

The farmer made sure that the new goats were comfortable. He let them stay in the warm barn and gave them large piles of hay to eat.

Meanwhile, he showed no concern for his old goats. He left them out in the bitter wind and gave them almost no food. They were cold and hungry all night long.

一個暴風雨的冬夜，一名農夫注意到另一個農夫的山羊在他的地盤上，他十分興奮，心想：「如果新來的山羊待在這，明年春天我就可以把牠們賣了。」

農夫確認新的山羊過得舒舒服服，他讓牠們待在溫暖的穀倉內，並且給牠們一大堆稻草吃。

在這期間，農夫對原來的山羊不聞不問，他讓山羊留在寒風當中，幾乎不給牠們食物吃，讓牠們飢寒交迫渡過一整個晚上。


note	v.	注意
