A BULL was striving with all his might to squeeze himself through a narrow passage which led to his stall. A young Calf came up, and offered to go before and show him the way by which he could manage to pass. “Save yourself the trouble,” said the Bull; “I knew that way long before you were born.”
雄牛が、自分の牛小屋へ通じるせまい通路を、力いっぱい体をおしこんで通りぬけようとしていた。そこへ若い子牛がやって来て、先に立って、うまく通りぬけられる道を教えてあげようと申し出た。「余計な手間はかけなくていい」と雄牛は言った。「その道なら、おまえが生まれるずっと前から知っているよ」
