294. The She-Goats And Their Beards

The She-goats having obtain
ed by request from Jupiter the favour of a beard, the He-goats, sorely displeased, made complaint that the females equalled them in dignity. "Suffer them," said Jupiter, "to enjoy an empty honour, and to assume the badge of your nobler
sex, so long as they are not your equals in strength or courage."

294. 牝山羊和它们的须
牝山羊在天神那里得来受到赏赐的须,牡山羊很不高兴,向天神诉苦,说牝山羊就要和它们一样尊贵了,。 天神说:「忍受它们吧,使它们享受一点虚荣并假装着它也有你们高贵雄性的标记,然而它们的力量和勇气始终不可能和你们相比呀!」
别人如果真的不及我们,纵使外表和我们一样,也无关紧要的。
