The Sheep That Gave Money
给钱的羊
Again the boy went to the North Wind.
男孩再次去了北风那里。
"What do you want now?" roared the North Wind, when the lad came to his door the second time.
“你现在想要什么？”当它看到少年第二次到它门口时吼道。
"I want my meal," said the boy. "This cloth will not give me any food."
“我想要米，”男孩说，“这布不会给我任何食物。”
"Your meal is not here," said the Wind, "but I will give you this sheep instead. When you need money, just say, 'Sheep, sheep, give money!' Then you will have all the gold you want."
“你的米不在这儿，”北风说，“但我会给你这只绵羊。你需要钱时，就说‘绵羊，绵羊，给我钱！’然后你就能得到你想要的金子。”
"This sheep is certainly worth more than a bit of meal." said the boy.
“这只羊确实比一点儿米值钱。”男孩说。
Off went the lad, and that night he stopped at the same inn.
少年离开了，当天晚上在同一家旅馆住宿。
After supper he wanted to see if the sheep would really give money. So he brought the sheep into the inn and said, "Sheep, sheep, give money."
他吃完晚饭后想去看看绵羊是否真得能给钱。于是，他把绵羊带进旅馆说：“绵羊，绵羊，给我钱！”
The sheep opened its mouth wide, and bright yellow gold pieces fell out.
绵羊张开嘴，明亮的黄金币就掉了出来。
When the sly old inn-keeper saw this wonderful sight, he said to himself, "That sheep will soon be mine, too."
那个狡猾的老旅馆老板看到了这神奇的景象，自言自语道：“这只绵羊也很快就是我的。”
Now, he had a sheep that looked just like the lad's. While the lad slept, the man quietly took the magic sheep away and put his own in its place.
他有一只绵羊和少年的很像。当少年睡下时，男人轻轻牵走魔法绵羊，用他自己的羊代替。
Next morning when the lad got home, he said to his mother, "The North Wind isn't a bad fellow, after all. He gave me a sheep that will give us plenty of gold."
少年第二天早上到家时，对他妈妈说：“南风毕竟不坏。他给了我一只能吐金子的绵羊。”
His mother said, "I can't believe that is really true until I see the gold."
他妈妈说：“我看到金子才能相信这是真的。”
"Sheep, sheep, give money!" said the lad. But this sheep did not even open his mouth.
“绵羊，绵羊，给我钱！”少年说。但这只绵羊甚至没张嘴。
