 There was a dog that had been brought up to be able to fight against ferocious animals.

闘犬と普通のイヌ

 One day when the dog saw a number of ferocious animals getting together,

闘犬と普通のイヌ

 he bit his collar and tore it, then ran away towards the town.

 When other dogs saw him that looked almost like a sturdy bull run away, they all wondered what he was running away from, then asked him.

闘犬と普通のイヌ

“Why are you running away?”

闘犬と普通のイヌ

 Then he answered,

“Obviously I've been having such a luxurious life by eating a big and delicious meal every day.

闘犬と普通のイヌ

 But I'm forced to fight against lions and bears,

闘犬と普通のイヌ

闘犬と普通のイヌ

 so I cannot help getting scared and thinking like “Am I dying soon?”

闘犬と普通のイヌ

 Hearing his answer, other dogs said to one another,

闘犬と普通のイヌ

“We're poor, but we should be happy

 because we're not forced to fight against lions and bears.”

 This story tells us that it would be so much nicer to have a laid-back life even if we are poor than to have a luxurious life with dreadful things.
