中國寓言故事雙語版 第76期:狗阻告狀
In a village, a dog often shitted by the side of a well.
一個村子裏，有條狗常常在井臺邊上拉屎。
Several tens of families in the whole village drew water from the well.
全村幾十戶人家，都在這口井裏打水。
They all hated the dog, and wanted to tell its master to have it kept under control.
大家都討厭這條狗，很想把這事告訴狗的主人，讓主人把狗管住。
But whenever the people who wanted to lodge a complaint against it came near the gate of its master's house, the dog would pounce upon them, barking and biting, which frightened them so much that no one dared to come to the house.
可是，每次當告狀的人走近這位主人的大門的時候，這條狗就撲上來又叫又咬，嚇得誰也不敢上門。
It seems that people who are afraid to have their shortcomings revealed are probably like this dog, always trying to block the way so that others dare not lodge complaints against it.
看來，凡是怕別人揭發自己缺點的人，大概也跟這條狗一樣，總要擋住別人，使人們不敢告它的狀。
