When a wolf was eating an animal, a small bone from the meat got stuck in his throat. He could not swallow it, so he felt a terrible pain.
狼吃東西的時候,肉裡的一小塊骨頭卡在喉嚨裡,吞不下去,很疼.
He ran up and down, and tried to find something to relieve the pain.
他四處奔走,想找到什麼辦法減輕痛苦.
He tried to convince anyone to remove the bone. "I would give anything," he said, "if you would take it out."
他為了讓人相信說道："如果能取出這塊骨頭,我付出什麼都可以."
At last the osprey agreed to try. It told the wolf to open his mouth, and then put its long neck down the wolf's throat. The osprey loosened the bone with its beak, and finally got it out.
最後,鷺鷥同意試試看,他讓狼張大嘴,然後將長長的脖子伸進狼的喉嚨,用尖嘴叼出骨頭.
"Will you kindly give me the reward?" asked the osprey . The wolf showed his teeth, and said, "Be content,you have put your head into a wolf's mouth and taken it out again in safety. That is a great reward for you."
鷺鷥問："你給我什麼報酬?"狼露出他的牙齒,說："喂,朋友,你能從狼嘴裡平安無事地收回頭來,這就是報酬."
