06 the soldier and his horse 士兵和他的马
during the wars, a soldier looked after his horse with the greatest care. he gave it the best oats to eat and the clearest water to drink.
战争期间，有个士兵对他的马悉心照料。给它吃最好的燕麦, 喝最干净的水。he rubbed it down when it got wet and covered it with a warm blanket on cold winter nights.
马身上湿了，他就给它擦干；在寒冷的冬夜，他给它盖上温暖的毯子。as a result, the horse was strong and swift and carried its master safely out of the dangers of war.
因此，这匹马很健壮，跑得很快，驮着它的主人屡屡安全脱险。
when peace came, however, the soldier changed. he put the horse out in a field full of thistles and gave it only a little mouldy hay to eat.
战争结束了，士兵也变了。他把马拉到长满蓟的野地里，只给它一点儿发霉的干草吃。the stable was a broken-down hut with a leaking roof and a floor made of mud; the only water was in a ditch under the hedge.
给它住的马厩是间破旧不堪的茅草屋，屋顶是漏的，地面是泥土地；喝的水也只是树篱旁小水沟里的水。during the day the soldier made the horse work hard on his farm, carrying loads of wood and pulling heavy wagons.
白天，士兵让马在农场里干重活，不是驮木头，就是拉大车。
