熊哥哥和熊弟弟捡到一块奶酪,不知道怎么分,争了起来。
Two bear brothers found a piece of cheese and quarreled over how to share it.
狐狸跑来说:我帮你们分。他把奶酪掰成两半,一半大,一半小。
A fox trotted up: let me split it for you. He broke it in two - one piece big, one piece small.
弟弟喊:不一样大!狐狸就在大的一半上咬一口。咬来咬去,两半奶酪全进了狐狸肚子。
Not equal! cried the younger. So the fox bit the bigger half - and bit and bit until both halves were in his belly.
两兄弟一口也没吃到。为一点小事争吵,只会让别人占了便宜。
The brothers got nothing at all. Squabble over trifles and someone else pockets the prize.
