A GROOM used to spend whole days in currycombing and rubbing down his Horse, but at the same time stole his oats and sold them for his own profit. —
一个新郎过去整天都在给他的马梳洗和擦洗，但同时他偷走马的燕麦并以自己的利润出售。 —

“Alas!” said the Horse, “if you really wish me to be in good condition, you should groom me less, and feed me more.”
“唉！”马说道，“如果你真的希望我处于良好状态，你应该减少梳洗时间，给我更多的饲料。”
