[이솝우화] 농부와 그의 개들 🐾 THE FARMER AND HIS DOGS 🐾 農夫と犬たち

한 농부가 눈보라에 갇혀 밖으로 나가 식량을 구할 수 없게 되었다.
그래서 그는 먼저 양을 잡아 가족의 식량으로 삼았다.
그러나 눈보라가 계속되자 염소들을 잡았고,
마침내 폭풍이 멈출 기미가 보이지 않자 소들마저 잡아먹을 수밖에 없었다.
이 모습을 본 개들이 서로에게 말했다.
“이러다 우리 차례가 오겠어! 어서 도망가자!”

💡교훈:
위험이 닥쳤을 때는 눈치 빠르게 상황을 파악하고 행동해야 한다.

THE FARMER AND HIS DOGS

A Farmer was snowed up in his farmstead by a severe storm, and was unable to go out and procure provisions for himself and his family. 

So he first killed his sheep and used them for food; then, as the storm still continued, he killed his goats; and, last of all, as the weather showed no signs of improving, he was compelled to kill his oxen and eat them. 

When his Dogs saw the various animals being killed and eaten in turn, they said to one another,

"We had better get out of this or we shall be the next to go!"

🐾 農夫と犬たち

ある農夫が吹雪に閉じ込められ、外に出て食料を手に入れることができなかった。
そこで彼はまず羊を殺して家族の食事にした。
しかし嵐は続き、次にヤギを殺し、
ついには天候が回復する気配もなく、牛まで食べざるを得なかった。
それを見た犬たちは互いに言った。
「このままじゃ次は俺たちの番だ！逃げた方がいい！」

💡教訓：
危険が迫るときは、状況を見抜き、すぐに行動することが大切である。
