PATRASCHE BECOMES A FAITHFUL SERVANT
帕特拉斯基成为忠仆
For some years Jehan Daas had earned his living by taking into a neighboring town the milkcans of his neighbors.
几年来,耶汉·达斯靠把邻居们的牛奶罐拉到邻近的城镇来谋生。
But pushing the cart in which the cans were carried was getting to be hard work for the old man.
但是,推着装着牛奶罐的手推车对老人来说很辛苦。
He was not strong, and the town was several miles away.
老人身子不够强壮,临近的镇子有几英里远。
Patrasche watched the milk-cans come and go the first day after he was well.
帕特拉斯基康复后的第一天,看着这些牛奶罐来来回回地拉着。
The next morning, before the old man had touched the cart, Patrasche arose, walked to it,
第二天早晨,老人还没有摸到马车,帕特拉斯基就站了起来,走到马车跟前,
and placed himself between the handles.
把自己放在两个把手之间。
He showed, as plainly as he could, his desire to work in return for the kindness he had received.
帕特拉斯基尽可能清楚地表示,它希望干活来回报老人。
Jehan Daas pushed him away, for the old man thought it a shame to make dogs do hard work.
耶罕·达斯推开了帕特拉斯基,因为他认为让狗做苦工是可耻的。
But Patrasche would not be refused.
但是帕特拉斯基不会就这样妥协。
Finding that they did not harness him, he tried to draw the cart with his teeth.
发现他们没有给它套上绳子,帕特拉斯基试图用牙齿来拉马车。
