The ploughman,the ass and the ox

12

A ploughman yoked his ox and his ass together, and set to work to plough his field. It was a poor makeshift of a team, but it was the best he could do, as he had but a single ox, At the end of the day, when the beasts were loosed from the yoke, the ass said to the ox, "Well, we've had a hard day: which of us is to carry the master home?" The ox looked surprised at the question. "Why," said he, "you, to be sure, as usual."

农夫给他的公牛和驴一起套上牛轭,然后赶着它们下地犁田。 这是一个糟糕的临时组合,但农夫已经尽力了,因为他只有一头公牛。干了一天活后,牲口被主人从牛轭里解放出来,驴对牛说:“我们可是度过了艰难的一天,我们两个当中,谁载着主人回家呢?” 听了驴的话,牛似乎很惊讶,“怎么这么问呢,”他说,”当然是你,像往常一样。”
