The War Between Wolves and Dogs

(Aesop’s Fables)

Translation　ちいさな翻訳屋さん

Japanese ・ English ・ Chinese

Japanese & English ・Japanese & Chinese

　One day a struggle broke out between wolves and dogs.

　Then the dogs picked out a Greek dog as their leader.

　However, no matter how harshly the wolves made threats, the leader would not fight back against them.

”Do you know why I'm lingering against your threats?”

　The leader said to the wolves.

”It's because it is important to give careful consideration before taking actions in the first place.

　Observing the composition of your group, I found you all are in the same blood, and have the same hair color.

　But we dogs have a wide variety of characteristics respectively,

　and each one of us takes pride in our home countries.

　Our hair color varies from one to one. There are black ones, brown ones, white ones, and even grey ones.

　There are so many different characteristics among us, including our ways of thinking, so it doesn't seem that I can easily organize all of these to form a force against you.”



　No matter how competent we are, we will lose eventually if we do not unite our hearts altogether to win.
