Mr Dongguo and the Zhongshan wolf
导读：同学们，上个单元我们读的故事叫“盲人摸象”，是不是很有趣？现在我们用这个成语形容对事物了解不全面、乱加揣测。这个单元我们读一个和狼有关的寓言故事，看看你们能不能读懂这个故事的英文版本。
One day, carrying a sack(布袋) of books, Mr Dongguo drove a donkey to the State of Zhongshan to look for an official post(谋求官职).
Suddenly, a wounded(受伤的) wolf ran to him and begged(乞求), “Sir, a hunter is running after me. I was shot and almost lost my life. I beg you to hide me in your sack, and I'll reward(报答) you well in the future.”
Mr Dongguo said, “I'll surely try to save you. This is something I should do.”
At this moment, the wolf curled up(蜷缩起来). Mr Dongguo tied it up with rope, put it into his sack and drove the donkey to the roadside.
A moment later, the hunter came up and found the wolf missing. He asked Mr Dongguo, “Did you see a wolf? Where did it run off?”
Mr Dongguo said, “I didn't see a wolf. This road leads to many byroads（支路）. The wolf may escape(逃跑) from one of them.”
The hunter could do nothing but believe（相信） this to be true. So he turned around and left.
The wolf said in the sack, “Sir, please let me out of the sack.”
Mr Dongguo let the wolf out. But the wolf howled(嚎叫) at him, “Please, sir, now I am so starved(饥饿的). Please let me eat you up.”
Just then, the wolf bared its teeth, waved its claws and jumped upon him.
Mr Dongguo fought the wolf and kept on shouting, “You ungrateful(忘恩负义的) wolf! You ungrateful wolf!”
At this moment, an old farmer passed by. Mr Dongguo hurriedly got hold of him and asked him to pass judgement(审判).
The old farmer thought it over and said, “I don't believe either of you. How can this sack hold a wolf? Please do it again so I can see it with my own eyes.”
The wolf agreed. Again it lay on the ground, curled up into a ball, let Mr Dongguo tie it up and put it in the sack.
The old farmer tied up the sack at once and said to Mr Dongguo, “This beast(野兽) will never change its nature（本性）. It is too stupid(愚蠢的) and too dangerous to be kind to a wolf.”
Then, he raised his hoe(锄头) and struck the wolf to death. Mr Dongguo finally saw the light, and said to the old farmer, “Thank you for saving my life today. I'll always remember this lesson.”

“中华传统”译文：
一天，东郭先生牵着驴，驮着一袋书，到中山国去谋求一官半职。
突然，一只受伤的狼跑到他面前乞求道：“先生，有个猎人正在追赶我，我中了箭，几乎送了命。求求你让我躲进你的布袋里，我以后一定好好报答你。”
东郭先生说道：“我肯定会救你，这是我该做的事。”
这时候，狼蜷缩起来。东郭先生用绳子把它绑起来，放进麻布袋，把驴牵到路边。
不一会儿，猎人来了，找不到狼。他问东郭先生：“你有没有看到一只狼？它跑到哪里去了？”
东郭先生说：“我没有看到狼。这条路上岔道很多，狼可能已经从其中一条逃走了。”
猎人没有办法，只能相信他，于是转头离开了。
狼在袋子里说：“先生，请让我出来吧。”
东郭先生放了狼。但狼冲着他叫道：“求你了先生，我饿得不行了。让我吃了你吧。”
说着，狼露出牙齿，挥舞爪子，扑向东郭先生。
东郭先生抵抗着狼，不停地喊：“你这只忘恩负义的狼！你这只忘恩负义的狼！”
就在这时，一个老农经过。东郭先生连忙抓住他，让他评评理。
老农想来想去说：“你们两个我一个都不相信。这袋子怎么能装下一只狼呢？你们再展示一遍让我亲眼看看。”
狼同意了。它又一次躺在地上，把自己蜷缩成球，让东郭先生把它绑起来放进袋子里。
老农立刻扎住了口袋，对东郭先生说：“这种野兽永远不会改变本性。对一只狼友好太愚蠢，也太危险了。”
然后，他拿起锄头把狼打死了。东郭先生恍然大悟，对老农说：“谢谢你今天救了我一命。我会永远记住这个教训的。”
