Aesop’s Fables – Räven och geten
Mr. Fox was walking down the forest when he accidentally fell into a well. The well was not deep but he could not jump out. He tried again and again but could not escape.
TranslateHerr Räv gick i skogen när han av misstag föll i en brunn. Brunnen var inte djup men han kunde inte hoppa ut. Han försökte om och om igen men kunde inte fly.
After a long time, he heard a sound.
“CLIP CLOP CLIP CLOP CLIP COP”.
It was a very thirsty goat.
TranslateEfter en lång stund hörde han ett ljud.
“CLIP CLOP CLIP CLOP CLIP COP”.
Det var en mycket törstig get.
The Goat asked the Fox, “Hello Mr Fox. How is the water down in the well?”
The Fox was very cunning. It replied, “Excellent. This water is the tastiest and sweetest water in the forest. Jump in and have a drink.”
TranslateGeten frågade räven, ”Hej herre Räv. Hur är vattnet nere i brunnen? ”
Räven var väldigt listig. Den svarade: ”Utmärkt. Det här vattnet är det godaste och sötaste vattnet i skogen. Hoppa i och drick. ”
Saying so, he drank some water. The Goat immediately jumped in and started to drink the water. The fox jumped on top of the Goat and then in one single jump, he was outside the well.
TranslateMed det sagt drack han lite vatten. Geten hoppade genast i och började dricka vattnet. Räven hoppade upp på geten och sedan i ett enda hopp var han utanför brunnen.
The goat realized that he could not get out. He begged the fox to help him escape. The fox was already on its way to the woods.
TranslateGeten insåg att han inte kunde komma ut. Han bad räven att hjälpa honom fly. Räven var redan på väg till skogen.
“If you had some sense in you, you should have been careful. You should have thought of how you would be getting out again before you jumped in.”
Translate”Om du hade något sund förnuft i dig, borde du ha varit försiktig. Du borde ha tänkt på hur du skulle komma ut igen innan du hoppade ner i brunnen. ”
Moral: “Look before you leap.”
Translate“Titta innan du hoppar.”
