Aesop’s Fables – El Perro y las pieles de cuero
There were a few dogs which lived in the village. In the village, there lived a tanner. The tanner used to make leather hides. The tanner had to take the leather and put them in the bottom a stream to soak. The dogs loved to eat leather. Leather was very tasty.
TranslateHabía algunos Perros que vivían en el pueblo. En el pueblo, vivía un curtidor. El curtidor hacía pieles de cuero. El curtidor tenía que tomar el cuero y ponerlos en el fondo de un arroyo para que se remojaran. A los Perros les encantaba comer el cuero. El cuero era muy sabroso.
The first dog said, “WOOF! WOOF! How do we steal the leather?”
The second dog said, “ARF! ARF! We can jump inside and pull it out.”
The third dog said, “WHOW! WHOW! We cannot do that. The hide is very heavy.”
TranslateEl primer Perro dijo: “¡GUAU! ¡GUAU! ¿Cómo robamos el cuero?”.
El segundo Perro dijo: “¡ARF! ARF! Podemos saltar adentro y sacarlo.”.
El tercer Perro dijo: “¡WHOW! ¡WHOW! No podremos hacer eso. La piel es muy pesada.”
The first dog said, “WOOF! WOOF! Then how do we steal the leather?”
The second dog said, “ARF! ARF! Let us drink all the water in the stream. Once the water is finished, we can eat the hide.”
The third dog said, “WHOW! WHOW! That is such a clever plan. You are very smart.”
TranslateEl primer Perro dijo: “¡GUAU! ¡GUAU! Entonces, ¿cómo robaremos el cuero?”.
El segundo Perro dijo: “¡ARF! ARF! Bebamos toda el agua del arroyo. Una vez que se acabe el agua, podremos comernos la piel.”.
El tercer Perro dijo: “¡WHOW! ¡WHOW! Esa es una gran idea. Eres muy inteligente.”.
The three dogs started to drink the water. The dogs drank and drank and drank and drank.
The first dog said, “WOOF! WOOF! Can we reach the hides?”
TranslateLos tres Perros empezaron a beber el agua. Los Perros bebieron y bebieron y bebieron y bebieron.
El primer Perro dijo: “¡GUAU! ¡GUAU! ¿Podemos alcanzar las pieles?”.
The second dog said, “ARF! ARF! We have to drink some more.”
The third dog said, “WHOW! WHOW! Yes. Yes. We have to drink some more.”
TranslateEl segundo perro dijo: “¡ARF! ARF! Tenemos que beber un poco más.”.
El tercer perro dijo: “¡WHOW! ¡WHOW! SÍ. SÍ. Tenemos que beber un poco más.”.
And so they drank and drank and drank and drank until they burst. The water in the river did not reduce at all.
