A DOG and a Cock being great friends, agreed to travel together. At nightfall they took shelter in a thick wood. The Cock flying up, perched himself on the branches of a tree, while the Dog found a bed beneath in the hollow trunk. When the morning dawned, the Cock, as usual, crowed very loudly several times. A Fox heard the sound, and wishing to make a breakfast on him, came and stood under the branches, saying how earnestly he desired to make the acquaintance of the owner of so magnificent a voice. The Cock, suspecting his civilities, said: "Sir, I wish you would do me the favor of going around to the hollow trunk below me, and waking my porter, so that he may open the door and let you in."
When the Fox approached the tree, the Dog sprang out and caught him, and tore him to pieces.
一只狗和一只公鸡是伟大的朋友，同意一起旅行。入夜他们躲在茂密的树林。公鸡飞了起来，坐在一棵树的树枝上，一只狗在树下找到一张床下面的床。当黎明，公鸡，像往常一样，啼叫起来。一只狐狸听到了声音，并希望在他身上做一顿早餐，站在树枝下面，说他多么渴望能认识这么多声音的主人。公鸡，怀疑他的客套，说：“先生，我希望你能帮我去我下面的空树干的青睐，惊醒我的搬运工，这样他可以打开门让你进来。”
狐狸走近那棵树时，那只狗跳了出来，抓住了他，把他撕成了碎片。
