Question

It was a freezing cold winter night. Coming near the town to look for food, a very hungry wolf met a house dog. The wolf saw that the dog was fat and comfortable so he asked, “Cousin dog, do

you know where I can I find some food?”

“Oh, there is always food in my house,” said the dog. “My master gives me plenty of meat.”

“Master?” said the wolf, “What’s that?”

“The man I work for,” said the dog, “My job is easy. I bark and keep thieves away from the

house. It’s a good life. Why don’t you try it?”

“Yes,” said the wolf. “Your life sounds much better than living in the cold woods. I’d like a roof over my head. I’ll come with you and work for your master.”

As they ran toward the town together, the wolf saw a mark on the dog’s neck.

“What’s that?” he asked.

“What’s what?”said the dog.

“That mark on your neck.”

“Oh, that,” said the dog, “It’s nothing. My collar ( 項(xiàng)圈 ) is a little tight（緊的） —the collar that my chain is tide to.”

“Chain?” asked the wolf.” You mean that you are not free? You can’t go where you want to?”

“Well, they chain me during the day, because the neighbors are afraid of me,” said the dog,” but at night I can go free. I sleep during the day, so that I can watch better at night. It’s really

not bad. And think of all the food I get! Where are you going?”

“Thank you, but no thanks,” said the wolf. “If I had chain around my neck, I would die. I’d rather be hungry and free than a slave (奴隸) with a full stomach”．
