The Fawn and His Father

　　小鹿与他的父亲

　　有一天，小鹿对公鹿说道，“父亲，你怎么还怕狗呢？你比他高大，比他跑得更快，而且还有很大的角用于自卫。”

　　He smiled， and said： “I know full well， my son， that all you say is true. I have the advantages you mention， but when I hear even the bark of a single dog I feel ready to faint， and fly away as fast as I can.”

　　公鹿笑着说：“孩儿，你说得都对，可我只知道一点，一听到狗的叫声，我就会不由自主地立刻逃跑。”
