伊索寓言：作客的狗
The Dog and the Cook
A RICH MAN gave a great feast, to which he invited many friends and acquaintances. His Dog availed himself of the occasion to invite a stranger Dog, a friend of his, saying, "My master gives a feast, and there is always much food remaining; come and sup with me tonight." The Dog thus invited went at the hour appointed, and seeing the preparations for so grand an entertainment, said in the joy of his heart, "How glad I am that I came! I do not often get such a chance as this. I will take care and eat enough to last me both today and tomorrow."
While he was congratulating himself and wagging his tail to convey his pleasure to his friend, the Cook saw him moving about among his dishes and, seizing him by his fore and hind paws, bundled him without ceremony out of the window. He fell with force upon the ground and limped away, howling dreadfully. His yelling soon attracted other street dogs, who came up to him and inquired how he had enjoyed his supper. He replied, "Why, to tell you the truth, I drank so much wine that I remember nothing. I do not know how I got out of the house."
作客的狗
一天，有个人大摆酒席，设宴招待亲朋好友。这人家里的狗也高兴地跑去请另一只狗，说：「朋友，快走，请你和我一起去赴宴。」那狗兴高采烈地跑来，见到如此丰盛的筵席，他心里暗暗地说，「太好啦！真想不到天底下还有这么多好吃的！让我饱吃一顿，明天都不会肚子饿。」他独自暗暗地窃喜，不停地摇着尾巴，十分信任地看着他的朋友。正在这时，厨师看见狗尾巴在那里四处乱摇，立刻抓住他的腿，从窗口丢到外边去了。那狗摔得大声叫唤，惊慌地跑了回去。路上别的狗遇见他时，都问他：「朋友，宴会怎么样呀？」他回答道：「我喝得太多了，已经醉了，所以我记不请回去的路了。」
这个故事带出的启示就是：对那些慷他人之慨的人不可信任。
