　　A big dog saw a puppy¹ chasing its tail and asked:

　　"Why are you chasing your tail that way?"

　　"I have studied philosophy and solved the problem of the universe, which no other dog before me had ever solved," the puppy answered, "and I have found out that the best thing for a dog in life—is happiness, and that my happiness is in my tail. That is why I am chasing it, and when I catch it—I will reach happiness."

　　"Son," the dog said, "in my young days I was also interested in the questions of the universe. I also thought that the happiness is in the tail and in the beginning I was also chasing it. But later I have noticed that anywhere I go and whatever I do, the tail was following behind me. And then I understood that I don’t need to chase it."

　　一只大狗看见一只小狗在追它的尾巴，问：“你为什么这样追你的尾巴？”

　　“我研究过哲学，并解决了宇宙的问题，这是我之前从未有过狗解决这个问题”，小狗回答说，“我发现狗生活中最好的东西就是快乐，我的快乐就在我的尾巴上。这就是为什么我追逐它，当我抓住它-我就抓住了幸福快乐。”

　　“孩子”，大狗说，“在我年轻的时候，我对宇宙的问题也很感兴趣。我还以为幸福就在尾巴上，一开始我也在追它。但后来我注意到无论我去哪里，无论我做什么，尾巴都跟着我。然后我明白我不需要去追它了。”
