Once upon a time, there was a dog who did not know how to hunt. He went hungry every day. The other animals in the forest thought that he was stupid, and no one wanted to be friends with him or to talk with him.

One day, the dog felt so hungry, he fainted in the woods. A passing hunter rescued the dog and took the dog home with him. At night, the hunter shared his dinner with the dog. The dog was very grateful for the delicious dinner. After dinner, the hunter asked, "Why did you faint in the woods?" The dog replied, "I do not know how to hunt, so I'm hungry all the time. This time, I did not have anything to eat for days. This is why I fainted in the woods." The dog felt sorry for himself and started to cry. The hunter patted the dog and said, "Do not feel sad. You can stay with me, and I can teach you how to hunt. You have a good nose and sharp ears. Therefore, you will surely learn fast." The dog decided to stay with the hunter and learn how to hunt.

Just as the hunter said, the dog was a fast learner, and he learned how to hunt in one month. One day, the hunter and the dog were hunting in the woods. Suddenly, the dog's nose told him that they were close to a big black bear. He quickly told the hunter about the dangerous bear, and both of them ran away to safety. After they got home, the hunter told the dog, "Your good nose and sharp ears saved my life. You have also learned how to hunt. I have nothing more to teach you. Do you wish to go back to the woods?" The dog replied, "Dear hunter, You have taught me so many things. You have been like a father to me. I would like to stay with you." From then on, the dog lived with the hunter, and protected his house.

　　很久以前，狗因為不知道怎麼在森林裡找食物吃，每天都餓肚子，森林裡的其他動物覺得狗很笨，都不喜歡跟他交朋友，也不喜歡跟他說話。

　　有一天，狗因為太久沒吃東西，餓昏在森林中。醒來時發現自己被獵人救了，好心的獵人不但把狗從森林裡撿回來，還煮晚餐給狗吃。餓了好幾天的小狗，便高高興興地吃了起來。吃飽後，獵人問狗：「你怎麼會昏倒在森林裡呢？」狗回答：「我不知道怎麼在森林裡找食物，所以常常餓肚子，這次很多天沒有吃東西，才會昏倒。」狗說完便傷心地哭了起來。獵人安慰他說：「不要難過了，你可以跟我住在一起，我教你打獵的技巧。你有靈敏的鼻子和很好的耳朵，一定可以學得很快。」狗便在獵人家住下來，和獵人學習打獵的技巧。

　　日子過的很快，一個月過去了，狗學會了打獵的技巧。有一天，狗和獵人在森林中打獵，突然，狗靈敏的鼻子聞到大黑熊的味道，連忙告訴獵人，兩人靠著狗的好耳朵和靈敏的鼻子，繞過黑熊，順利的逃跑。獵人對狗說：「謝謝你救了我一命，你已經學會我全部的本領，要不要回森林中自己生活？」狗回答：「獵人大哥，你教了我這麼多東西，就像是我的爸爸一樣，我想跟你一起生活。」從此以後，狗便與人類住在一起，替人類看守家園。
