Aesop’s Fables – Das Maultier
Once upon a time, there was a Mule who wanted to show off. The Mule woke up one day and was filled with energy. He ran around as fast as he could.
He thought, “My father must have been a powerful racehorse. I feel like a racehorse. No horse must be faster than me.”
TranslateEs war einmal ein Maultier, das angeben wollte. Das Maultier wachte eines Tages auf und war voller Energie. Es rannte so schnell herum, wie es konnte..
Er dachte: „Mein Vater muss ein mächtiges Rennpferd gewesen sein. Ich fühle mich wie ein Rennpferd. Kein Pferd darf schneller sein als ich. “
Next day he was put into a harness and that evening he tried to run. He was so slow that he was disheartened.
The Mule said, “I am so sad. My father was an Ass after all.”
TranslateAm nächsten Tag wurde er in ein Geschirr gesteckt und an diesem Abend versuchte er zu rennen. Er war so langsam, dass er entmutigt war.
Das Maultier sagte: „Ich bin so traurig. Mein Vater war doch ein Esel. “
