- 10. 10 机灵的老婆婆 从前，在嘉义的山上住着一对老夫 妇，老婆婆的眼睛不好，生活都是 老公公在照顾她。 A long time ago, there lived an old couple in the mountains of Jia Yi County. The granny had poor eyesight. The grandpa took care of her daily life.
- 11. 11 这一天，老公公要下山办事，出门 前跟老婆婆说：「山上有假扮成人 的狐狸，你眼睛不好，千万别随便 开门。」 One day, the grandpa needed to go down the mountain to run some errands. He told the granny, “Some bad foxes disguise themselves as humans. Your eyes might fool you, so don’t open the door.”
- 12. 12 老公公一出门立刻被眼尖的狐狸看 到，狐狸发出奸笑，并躲进房子旁 的树林里。 When the grandpa left the house, a sneaky fox saw him leave, and the fox conspired to victimize the granny. He hid himself in the woods.
- 13. 13 天快黑了，老婆婆心想老公公怎么 还没回来呢？这时，传来一阵敲门 声， When the night fell, the granny wondered why the grandpa hadn’t come home. At this moment, she heard someone knocking the door.
- 14. 14 老婆婆从门缝往外看，头戴毛线帽 手拿拐杖，的确是老公公的装扮， 就高兴开门并说：「快进来，晚餐 吃燉(炖)肉。」 She peeked through the hole of the door. Someone who wore a knitted cap and held a staff was standing by the door. It looked like the grandpa. She opened the door and said, “Come in! We will have beef stew tonight.”
- 15. 15 这时老婆婆伸手去拿帽子和拐杖， 发现摸到的手怎么毛茸茸的，心想： 「老伴说狐狸会装成人样，难道他 是狐狸假扮的？」 Granny reached to help him put the cap and staff away. She realized the hand was very hairy. She thought to herself, “Grandpa said that foxes sometimes disguise themselves as humans. Was this one a fox?”
- 16. 16 老婆婆想到一个办法，便说：「老 伴，你扶我到火炉旁，好吗？」 The granny came up with an idea. She said, “My dear, can you help me to the fire stove?”
- 17. 17 狐狸两手一抓便快步往火炉走， 老婆婆马上知道这个粗鲁的人不是 老公公。 The fox held up her hands rudely and led her there. The granny knew immediately that this was not the grandpa.
- 18. 18 老婆婆接着说：「老伴，你走路不 太稳，声音又沙哑，是不是又喝酒 了？」狐狸回答：「是呀！是呀！」 Granny then said, “My dear, your walk is wobbly and you sound awful when you talk. Did you drink tonight?” The fox said, “Yes, I did drink a little.”
- 19. 19 这时，老婆婆说：「每次你喝醉了， 都会钻进米袋闷汗来解酒的，等你 解完酒，我们就来吃燉肉。」 So the granny said, “Every time you drink too much, you will cure the hangover by getting into a giant rice bag for a good sweat. I will wait till your hangover is cured and then we will eat the stew.”
- 20. 20 狐狸没办法只好爬进米袋里，老婆 婆马上把袋口绑起来，又说：“吊 在火炉上烤一下，比较快出汗”。 The fox then crawled into the rice bag. Granny immediately tightened up the bag. She said, “I will hang you above the stove; the heat helps you sweat!”
- 21. 21 就把袋子吊在火炉上，又加了许多 柴火。狐狸被烤得受不了，大叫： “老伴，我出了满身汗，快放我下 来” She added more firewood to the stack. The fox couldn’t endure the heat anymore. He shouted, “My dear, put me down! I am cured!”
- 22. 22 老婆婆说：“哼，你这只狐狸还想 骗我。” 狐狸知道事迹败露，便 用力挣扎，这时老公公回来了。 The granny said, “You want to trick me? I already know that you are a fox!” The fox then tried to free himself by struggling hard against the bag.
- 23. 23 老公公一棒就把狐狸打昏在米袋里。 隔天，下山把狐狸卖了，并换回了 许多食物。 The grandpa came home at this moment. He punched the fox senseless while it was in the bag. The next day, they sold the fox and brought a lot of food home.
