嫉妒的邻居

The envious neighbor

嫉妒的邻居

Once upon a time, in the little village of Grey Monta, there lived an old couple: Richard and Marie. Richard and Marie did not have any children, but they did have a cute little dog, called Romeo. 

很久以前，在格雷蒙塔的一个小村庄里住着一对老夫妇:理查德和玛丽。理查德和玛丽没有孩子，但他们有一只可爱的小狗，名叫罗密欧。

Romeo, come here, boy, food's ready. Romeo was very fond of the old couple and never left their side. He's a little bundle of joy, isn't he? Yes, that he is. One day when Richard was working in his garden, with Romeo, as usual. Close by, he noticed something unusual: Romeo was snuffling and scratching at a spot a little way off. 

罗密欧，过来，孩子，食物准备好了。罗密欧非常喜欢这对老夫妇，从未离开过他们的身边。他真是个快乐的小家伙，不是吗?是的，他是。一天，理查像往常一样和罗密欧在花园里干活。在不远处，他注意到一件不寻常的事:罗密欧在抽鼻子，搔着不远处的一块地方。

What it is, boy? At once, Romeo ran up to his master, barking loudly, and back again to the place where he had been scratching. Richard wondered what the matter could be and picking up the spade, followed where the dog led him. Romeo jumped around, barking loudly, till the noise brought Marie outside as well. 

怎么了，孩子?罗密欧立刻跑向他的主人，大声地吠着，然后又跑回他刚才挠过的地方。理查德不知道这是怎么回事，拿起铁锹跟着狗走。罗密欧跳来跳去，大声地吠着，直到玛丽也被响声吵醒了。

Curious, Richard began to dig, and very soon the spade struck against something. Oh my, looks like we've found something! He stooped down and pulled out a large box. When he opened it, his jaws dropped for the box was filled with shining gold pieces. My goodness. Am I dreaming? 

理查德好奇地开始挖，不一会儿铁锹碰到了什么东西。天啊，看来我们找到了什么!他弯下腰，拉出一个大箱子。当他打开它的时候，他的下巴掉了下来，因为盒子里装满了闪闪发光的金币。我的天啊。我在做梦吗?

Don't know about you, but I definitely am not! This is really. Our little boy here has brought us fortune. We're rich! Romeo barked and jumped in joy. The box was so heavy that Marie had to help to carry it inside. Days passed and Romeo was given all the dog likes best to eat, and the cushions on which he lay were fit for a prince.

不知道你怎么想，但我绝对不是做梦!这是真的。我们的儿子给我们带来了好运。我们富有了!罗密欧高兴得又叫又跳。这箱子太重了，玛丽不得不帮着把它搬进去。日子一天天过去了，罗密欧得到了所有狗狗最喜欢吃的东西，他躺在上面的垫子就像王子躺在地上一样。
