(Aesop's Fables)

Translation　ちいさな翻訳屋さん

Japanese　←→　Japanese ＆ English　←→　English

　A pig and a dog were fighting claiming that they give birth to more babies.

　The dog said,

"I can give birth to babies in the shortest time out of all four-footed animals."

　Then the pig said,

“It’s true that you can give birth to many babies in a short time, but all of your babies’ eyes haven’t been opened yet.”



　It's not always true that you should finish work quickly.

　It’s important that you complete work neatly.
