A bear and a lion
One upon a time a lion and a
bear caught and killed a goat. They
had a quarrel over it.
“It is mine,” said the bear. “I
caught it with my strong paws.”
“It is not yours. It is mine,”
said the lion. “I killed it with my
strong jaws.”
Then they began to fight over
it. They ran up and down the hill,
under and over the fallen trees, in
and out of the forest. They bit and
scratched with their strength, but no
one could overcome the other.
At last they both were tired
out and could fight no longer. They
lay upon the ground, panting and
looking at each other.
A fox who was passing by at
the time saw them with a dead goat
near by. She ran up to them, took the
goat home and ate it up.

seekor beruang menangkap dan
mebunuh seekor kambing. Mereka pun
berdebat.
“Ini milikku,” kata beruang
“Saya menagkapnya dengan
kekuatan cakarku.”

hutan. Mereka saling menggigit dan
mencakar dengan kekuatan mereka
yang mereka miliki, tapi tidak ada
yang mampu mengalahkan satu sama

Dan pada akhirnya mereka
berdu letih dan tidak bias berkelahi
lagi. Mereka berbaring dengan nafas
terengah-engah dan saling melihat.

melihat mereka bersama seekor
kambing mati di dekatnya. Dia pun
mendekat, dan membawa pergi kambing
tersebut.

“I am going to market to buy
sheep,” answered the other.
“Which way are you going to
bring your sheep home?” asked the
first man again.
“Over this bridge,” answered
the second man.
“You shall not go over this
bridge,” said the first man. “You shall
go that way,”
“I will go over this bridge,” said
the second man.
“You shall not,” said the first
man again.
“But I will,” replied the other.
Soon the two men began to
fight. They fought and fought until
they both got quite hurt.
How foolish they were! They
fought over the sheep which were not
here.
