Once there were two bạn cùng lớp (classmates) Pat and Tom. One day, Pat went to Tom's house mượn (to borrow) a book.
On cổng vào (the entrance), he found a dog standing. Seeing Pat, it started sủa (barking). Pat sợ hãi (got frightened). Tom chạy ra (came running) and giữ (held) his dog. Pat was still thở hổn hển (breathing heavily).
At this, Tom said, "Pat, những con chó chỉ sủa chứ không cắn (dogs who bark never bite)."
Pat said, "you and I know điều này (this proverb), but this dog doesn't know."
Both the friends cười to (laughed heartily).
