a young pig was shut up in a fold-yard with a goat and a sheep. on one occasion when the shepherd laid hold of hiplained of his distressing cries, saying, "he often handles us, and we do not cry out." to this the pig replied,"your handling and mine are very different things. he catches you only for your wool, or your milk, but he lays hold on me for my very life."

一只小猪和绵羊、山羊被牧人关在一起。【三顾书屋】一天，牧人把小猪抓住了，小猪一边拼命地挣扎，一边大声惨叫。绵羊和山羊听到他的抱怨，就指责他说:“我们也经常被牧人抓住，可是从来没有像你一样哭诉！”小猪回答道:“咱们的情况是不一样的，牧人抓你们只是要得到你们的羊毛或奶汁，而他抓我是要吃我的肉啊！”

有的时候，抱怨也是情有可原的。
