Aesop’s Fables – Das Schaf und der Wolf
Once upon a time, there was a great fight between a Wolf and a Bear. The Wolf was very tired at the end and was lying down, completely exhausted.
A Sheep was walking past when the Wolf called out, “Mr. Sheep. Mr. Sheep.”
TranslateEs war einmal ein großer Kampf zwischen einem Wolf und einem Bären. Der Wolf war am Ende sehr müde und lag völlig erschöpft im Liegen.
Ein Schaf ging vorbei, als der Wolf rief: „Herr Schaf. Herr Sheep. “
The Sheep immediately turned to run away when the Wolf said, “Please wait. I am very exhausted and cannot even walk.”
TranslateDas Schaf drehte sich sofort um und rannte weg, als der Wolf sagte: „Bitte warten Sie. Ich bin sehr erschöpft und kann nicht einmal laufen. “
The Sheep stopped so the Wolf said, “Can you please bring me some water? I am so tired that I need some water in order to even get up. Only after I have some water will I even have the strength to search for some food”
TranslateDas Schaf blieb stehen und der Wolf sagte: „Können Sie mir bitte etwas Wasser bringen? Ich bin so müde, dass ich etwas Wasser brauche, um überhaupt aufzustehen. Erst wenn ich etwas Wasser trinke, kann ich sogar nach Nahrung suchen. “
The Sheep started to walk away saying, “If I bring you water, then you don’t have to search for food. I will become your food. Don’t ever ask me for water again”
TranslateDas Schaf begann wegzugehen und sagte: „Wenn ich Ihnen Wasser bringe, dann müssen Sie nicht nach Nahrung suchen. Ich werde zu Ihrem Essen. Fragen Sie mich nie wieder nach Wasser” “
