La Grenouille qui veut se faire aussi grosse que le Bœuf
(La Fontaine- Livre 1)
- Pour nos visiteurs anglais et pour tous voici la traduction en anglais trouvée sur le site contemania.com : intéressante, non ?
- (Mais c'est le texte français que le test utilise)
The Frog who Aspired to Become as Big as the Ox
A Frog espied an Ox that seemed to her of a noble size.
She, no bigger than an egg,
Envious, stretches, puffs up and labours
To match the animal in size,
Saying: 'Hey watch me sister;
Is this enough? tell me; am I there yet?
-No way! -How about now? -Not at all. - Is that it ?
You aren't even close.' The puny, pretentious creature
Swelled up so much that she croaked.
The world is full of people who aren't too wise:
People with some money wish to build like royalty,
Every minor prince has ambassadors,
Every marquis wants servants.
