狼看见小羊在河边喝水,想吃掉它,就说:你把我喝的水弄脏了!
The wolf saw a lamb drinking from the river and wanted to eat it, so he said: 'You've muddied the water I'm drinking!'
小羊说:我在您的下游,水是从您那边流过来的呀。
The lamb said: 'I am downstream from you, the water flows from your side to mine.'
狼说:那你去年为什么在背后说我坏话?小羊说:那时候我还没出生呢。
The wolf said: 'Then why did you speak ill of me last year?' The lamb said: 'I wasn't even born yet.'
狼说:反正我要吃你!说完就扑了过去。
'I'm eating you anyway!' said the wolf, and pounced.
