从前 有 个 人,养了 几只 羊。
Once upon a time, there was a shepherd who kept several sheep.
Yìtiān zǎoshang, tā fāxiàn shǎole yìzhī yáng.
一天 早上, 他 发现 少了 一只 羊。
One morning, the shepherd discovered that one of his sheep was missing.
Yuánlái yángjuàn pòle gè kūlong, yèjiān láng cóng
原来 羊圈 破了个 窟窿, 夜间 狼 从
kūlong lǐ zuān jìnlái bǎ yáng diāo zǒule.
窟窿 里 钻 进来 把 羊 叼 走了。
It turned out that, during the night, a wolf had stolen his sheep through a hole in the sheep pen.
Línju quàngào tā shuō: “gǎnkuài bǎ
邻居 劝告 他 说:“赶快 把
yángjuàn xiūyīxiū, dǔ shàng nàgè kūlong ba.”
羊圈 修一修,堵 上 那个 窟窿 吧。”
His neighbor suggested to him: “You should fix the pen and cover the hole right away.”
Tā shuō: “yáng yǐjīng diūle, hái xiū yángjuàn gàn shénme ne?”
他说: “羊 已经 丢了,还 修 羊圈 干 什么 呢?”
Tā méi jiēshòu línju de quàngào.
他 没 接受 邻居 的 劝告。
But the shepherd said: “The sheep are already lost, so I don’t need to repair it.” And so he rejected the neighbor’s suggestion.
Dìèrtiān zǎoshang, tā qù fàngyáng, fāxiàn yòu shǎole yìzhī yáng.
第二天 早上, 他 去 放羊, 发现 又 少了 一只 羊。
The next morning, he discovered that another sheep was missing.
Yuánlái láng yòu cóng kūlong lǐ zuān jìnlái bǎ yáng diāo zǒule.
原来 狼 又 从 窟窿 里 钻 进来 把 羊 叼 走了。
Once again, the wolf had stolen the sheep through the hole in the fence.
Tā hěn hòuhuǐ, bùgāi bù jiēshòu línju de quàngào.
他 很 后悔, 不该 不 接受 邻居 的 劝告。
The shepherd regretted not taking the neighbor’s advice.
Tā gǎnkuài dǔshàng nàgè kūlong,
他 赶快 堵上 那个 窟窿,
bǎ yángjuàn xiūde jiējieshíshi de.
把 羊圈 修得 结结实实 的。
So he plugged the hole to secure the sheep pen.
Cóngcǐ, tā de yáng zài méiyǒu bèi láng diāo zǒule.
从此, 他的 羊 再 没有 被 狼 叼 走了。
From then on, the wolf stole no more sheep.
