A man had a little dog, and he liked it a lot. He would pat (拍) its head, put it on his knee and talk to it. Then he would give it some food from his own plate.
A donkey (驴子) looked in through the window and saw the man and the dog.
" Why doesn't he choose me as his pet?" said the donkey. "It is not fair. I work hard, and the dog only shakes its tail, barks and jumps onto the master's (主人) knee. It is not fair. "
Then the donkey said to himself, "If I do what the dog does, the master may choose me as
his pet. "
So the donkey ran into the room. He brayed (嘶叫) at the top of his voice. He shook his tail so hard that he knocked over a jar on the table. Then he tried to jump onto the master's knee.
The master thought the donkey was maniacal , and he shouted, "Help ! Help ! "
Some men came running in with sticks in their hands and they beat the donkey until he ran out of the house.
"I only did what the dog did, " said the donkey, "and yet they still regard the dog as their pet and they beat me with sticks. It is not fair. "
