Chapter 183 The Mule（骡子）

A MULE, frolicsome from lack of work and from too much corn, galloped about in a very extravagant manner, and said to himself: —
一头骡子，因为没有工作而兴奋不已，又因为吃了太多玉米而跳来跳去，他大摆架势，自言自语道： —

“My father surely was a high-mettled racer, and I am his own child in speed and spirit. —
「我的父亲一定是一匹高贵的赛马，我就是他在速度和精神上的血脉传承。 —

” On the next day, being driven a long journey, and feeling very wearied, he exclaimed in a disconsolate tone: —
」第二天，被驱赶着长途旅行，感到非常疲惫，他用沮丧的口气呼喊道： —

“I must have made a mistake; —
「我一定搞错了； —

my father, after all, could have been only an ass.”
毕竟，我的父亲可能只是头驴子。」
