Oxen and Wheels

(Aesop’s Fables)

Translation　ちいさな翻訳屋さん

Japanese ・ English ・ Japanese & Englishse

　Oxen were pulling a wagon.

　Wheels on the wagon started squeaking.

　Then the oxen told the wheels,

“Knock it off. It is us who’re pulling the wagon.

　This is not your time to squeak.”

　Just like these wheels, there’s a person who makes a tired face as if he was the only one working,

　although it is actually others who did all the work.
