A dog was very thirsty. It saw only a few empty pails, containing no water. The dog continued its search for water and arrived at a small house. There was a girl inside. The girl came out carrying a pail. "She is going to the well," the dog thought, and followed her. The dog was right. The girl reached the well, lowered the pail, filled it with water, and then returned home.
"Water! Great!" said the dog, rushing toward the well. Without a second thought, it jumped in.
The water was delicious. The dog was happy and drank plenty. However, it could not jump out of the well. It waited and waited, but no one came. "I am hungry now. I must get out," it thought.
At that moment, a thirsty goat came to the well. It looked at the water and the dog. "Is the water good?" asked the goat. "Of course. Come down," said the dog. So, the goat also jumped into the well. The dog was delighted. It jumped onto the goat's back and leaped out of the well.
The dog glanced at the goat, said, "Goodbye!" and then left.
一只狗非常口渴。它只看到几个空桶，里面没有水。狗继续寻找水源，来到了一间小房子前。房子里有个女孩。女孩提着桶出来了。“她去井里打水。”狗心想，便跟了过去。狗猜对了。女孩来到井边放下桶，桶里装满了水，然后女孩回家了。
“水！太好了！”狗说，冲向水井。它没加思索就跳进了井里。
水很甜，狗很开心，喝了很多。但它跳不出井了。它等啊等，但没人来。“我现在饿了，必须出去。”它想。
这时，一只口渴的山羊来到井边。它看了看水和狗。“水好吗？”山羊问。“当然，下来吧。”狗说。于是山羊也跳进了井里。狗很高兴，它跳上山羊的背，跳出了井。
狗看了看山羊，说：“再见！”然后离开了。
