260. The Shepherd And The Sheep

A Shepherd driving his sheep to
a wood, saw an oak of unusual size, full of acorns, and, spreading his cloak under the branches, he climbed up into the tree, and shook down the acorns. The Sheep eating the acorns, inadvertently frayed and tore the cloak. The Shepherd coming down, and seeing what was done, said, "O you most ungrateful creatures! you provide wool to make garments for all other men, but you destroy the clothes of him who feeds you."
260. 牧羊人和羊
一个牧羊人赶着他的羊到一座树林里去,看见一棵异常粗大的橡树,满挂着橡树果实,他将他的外套铺在树枝底下,爬到树上去,摇下那些橡树果实。 羊群吃着橡树果实,一不小心便磨损而且扯破了他的外套。 牧羊人下来时,一见它们所做的事情,就说:「哦,你们这些忘恩负义的东西!你们供给羊毛,做其它所有人的衣服,但是却把饲养你们的人的衣服撕毁了。」
