寓言故事|The Mule

来源:www.biu461.com 2024-04-30
A MULE1, frolicsome2 from lack of work and from too much corn,
galloped about in a very extravagant3 manner, and said to himself:
My father surely was a high-mettled racer, and I am his own
child in speed and spirit. On the next day, being driven a long
journey, and feeling very wearied, he exclaimed in a disconsolate
tone: I must have made a mistake; my father, after all, could
have been only an ass4.
