编者按：牛和狗同时为主人劳作，虚荣心让他们都认为自己的工作非常重要。他们是如何夸奖自己的工作的呢？
An ox and a dog serve for the same farmer.One day the dog arrogantly says:"How grand I am! In the daytime, I watch out for the cattle in the meadows; at night, I guard the house. But you…" "Me?How about me ?"the ox says
"You can only plough or draw a cart," the dog slightly says. "Yes. It's true," the ox says. "But if I don't plough, what do you guard?"
一头牛和一只狗同时为一个农夫工作。狗骄傲地说着：“我是多么重要啊！白天我在牧场看护家群，晚上我看家。而你呢…..?”“我？我怎么啦？” 牛反问。
“你只会犁地或是拉扯。”狗不懈地说。“是的。你说得没有错，”牛回答道。“但是如果没有我犁地，你看护什么呢？”
