they ran the third dog said,“For God’s sake, run for your lives. Civilization is after us.”
Three dogs were basking in the sun and conversing. The first dog said dre***ly, “It is indeed wondrous to be living in this day of dogdom. Consider the ease with which we travel under the sea, upon the earth and even in the sky. And meditate for a moment upon the inventions brought forth for the comfort of dogs, even for our eyes and ears and noses.”
And the second dog spoke and he said,“We are more heedful of the arts. We bark at the moon more rhythmically than did our forefathers. And when we gaze at ourselves in the water we see that our features are clearer than the features of yesterday.”
Then the third dog spoke and said,“But what interests me most and beguiles my mind is the tranquil understanding existing between dogdoms.”
At that very moment they looked, and, the dog-catcher was approaching.
The three dogs sprang up and scampered down the street, and as they ran the third dog said,“For God’s sake, run for your lives. Civilization is after us.”
舞 女
从前，有个舞女带着她的乐师来到比卡沙王子的宫殿。她获准入宫，就在王子面前，和着鲁特琴、长笛和齐特琴的音乐声翩翩起舞了。
她跳起了火焰舞和矛剑舞，又跳了星辰之舞和宇宙之舞。然后跳起了风中百花舞。
跳罢舞，她站在御座前，向王子鞠躬敬礼。王子吩咐她靠近些，问道：“美丽的女人，优雅愉快的女儿，你的舞艺从何而来？你怎样掌控所有这些韵律和节拍？”
