The Wolf and the Crane
狼与鹤（上）
A hungry Wolf eats a big, fat Sheep.
一只饥饿的狼吃了一只又大又肥的羊。
Wolf: Yummy! That was delicious. Now I'm full.
狼：嗯！真好吃。现在我吃饱了。
But a little while later, the Wolf feels something in his throat.
可是没过多久，狼感觉到喉咙里有什么东西。
Wolf: Uh hum. (clears throat) What's wrong? There's something stuck in my throat. Oh no! It must be a bone. It hurts so much. I must get it out. But I can't.
狼：呃，咳（清清喉咙）怎么回事？有东西卡在我的喉咙里。哦，不！一定是块骨头。真疼啊！我一定要把它弄出来，可是弄不出来啊。
The Wolf tries hard to take out the bone, but nothing works.
狼想方设法想把骨头拿出来，可是都没有用。
Wolf: It doesn't go down. It doesn't go up. I can't do anything. I need help.
狼：这骨头咽不下去，也吐不出来，我没办法了，得找人帮忙。
The Wolf looks around for help. He finds a Rabbit.
狼四处求救。他找到了一只兔子。
Wolf: Hello there, little Rabbit. How have you been?
狼：嘿，小兔子，最近好吗？
Rabbit: It's a Wolf! I better run!
兔子：狼！我最好快跑！
Wolf: Don't run away! Listen to me for a minute. I have a small favor to ask.
狼：别跑！听我说一下，我想请你帮个小忙。
Rabbit: What? A favor? What kind?
兔子：什么？帮忙？帮什么忙？
Wolf: Well, there is a bone stuck in my throat. It hurts so much. If you take it out for me, I'll do anything for you.
狼：是这样的，有一根骨头卡在我的喉咙里，很疼。如果你帮我把它取出来，我愿意为你做任何事情。
Rabbit: Take out a bone for you? How?
兔子：帮你把骨头取出来？怎么取？
Wolf: By putting your paws in my mouth.
狼：把你的爪子伸到我的嘴里。
Rabbit: That's dangerous. How do I know you are not tricking me? You could bite off my paws.
兔子：那太危险了。我怎么知道你不是在骗我？你可能会咬掉我的爪子。
Wolf: I am telling the truth. Please trust me. I'll do anything.
狼：我说的是真的，请相信我。我会为你做任何事的。
Rabbit: Let me see. It is very tempting. But no, thanks. I would rather live. I don't trust you. Bye.
兔子：让我想想，你的条件的确很吸引人，但是，不了，谢谢你。我宁愿选择活着。我不相信你，再见。
Wolf: No, wait! Please, don't go!
狼：不，等等！拜托，不要走！
The Rabbit just hops away. The next day, the Wolf's throat hurts more and more. This time he finds a Sheep.
小兔蹦蹦跳跳地走了。第二天，狼的喉咙更疼了。这次他找到了一只羊。
Wolf: Hello there, Miss Sheep.
狼：你好，羊小姐。
Sheep
: Oh please, Mr. Wolf! Don't eat me!羊：哦，拜托，狼先生！不要吃我！
Wolf: Don't worry. I won't eat you. I just need your help.
狼：别担心，我不会吃你的。我只是需要你的帮助。
Sheep: My help? What kind of help?
羊：我的帮助？什么样的帮助？
Wolf: Please take this bone out of my throat. It hurts so badly. I can't eat. I can't breathe well.
狼：请帮我把这块骨头从喉咙里拿出来，疼死我了。我现在不能吃，也喘不上气。
Sheep: That's too bad. But why would I help you? You ate my friend yesterday. And you might eat me today. Good-bye.
羊：那太糟糕了。不过，我为什么要帮助你？你昨天吃了我的朋友，你今天可能会把我也吃了。再见。
