原文:
More than seven hundred years ago, the Prince of Wales had a very big and brave dog, Gelert.
One day the Prince wanted to go hunting with his men. He told his dog to stay at home and look after his baby son. The baby was in a wooden cradle, which is like a small bed.
When the Prince came back from hunting, Gelert ran out to meet his master. Then the Prince saw blood on Gelert’s jaws and head.
“What have you done?” The Prince said. He rushed into his home and looked for his baby son. The cradle was lying on its side on the floor. The clothes were torn and there was blood on them.
“So you killed my son !” the Prince said angrily. “You unfaithful dog!” He took out his sword and killed the dog. Just as Geleert was dying, he managed to bark for a moment. Then the Prince hear a baby call to the dog.
The Prince ran out of the house and saw his son lying on the ground unhurt. Near him was a dead woof. Then the Prince knew that Gelert had defended the baby and killed the wolf.
