More than 700 years ago, the Prince of Wales had a very big dog. Its name was Gelert and it was very brave and faithful. It often followed the Prince when he went out.
　
　　One day the Prince left his dog at home and told it to protect his baby son, who was asleep in a small wooden bed. The Prince went away for several hours. When he returned, the Prince noticed that there was blood on Gelert's body.
　
　　＂What have you done?＂ the Prince said in alarm. He rushed into his home and saw the small bed lying on its side on the floor. The bed clothes were pulled to pieces and there was blood on them.
　
　　＂You bad dog!＂the Prince shouted angrily.＂I left you to protect my son but you've killed him. You unfaithful dog!＂
　
　　The Prince took out his sword. Gelert sat down and did not try to protect himself. The Prince killed the dog with one angry blow. Just as Gelert was dying, the Prince heard a baby call to the dog.
　
　　The Prince was surprised and frightened. He ran out of the house and saw his baby son lying on the ground unhurt. Near him was a dead wolf. Then the Prince realized that Gelert had protected the baby faithfully.
　
　　The prince realized that he had made a serious mistake. He ran back into the house to see if he could save Gelert but he was too late. The brave Gelert was dead, killed by his master. The Prince cried when he realized what he had done. He had repaid the faithfulness of his dog with disbelief and a foolish act.
　
　　If you go to Mount Snowdon(斯诺登山) in Wales, people will show you where Gelert was buried. It makes people think of a brave and faithful dog. It also tells us not to act in a hurry without knowing the full facts.

　　700多年前，威尔士王子养了一条狗，取名盖纳特，它非常的勇敢和忠诚，每当王子外出时，它总是跟在他身边。
　　
　　有一天，王子的孩子在小木床上睡着了，但王子有事要出去几个小时，于是他让狗留在家里看护孩子。当王子回来的时候，他发现狗身上有血迹。
　　
　　＂你都干了些什么？＂王子吃惊地说。他冲进家里，看到小木床倒在地上，床上的衣物沾满血迹，都已经被撕成了碎片。
　　
　　＂你这条恶狗！＂王子大怒，＂我让你看护我的孩子，你居然吃了他，你这条不忠不义的恶狗！＂
　　
　　王子拔出了佩剑，但盖纳特却坐下来，丝毫没有试图保护自己。王子狠狠地一剑就了结了它，正在这时，他听到一个婴儿的声音。
　　
　　王子又惊又惧，他跑出房间，看到自己的孩子安然无恙地躺在地上，旁边有一只狼，已经死去了。他终于明白，是忠诚的盖纳特保护了自己的孩子。
　　
　　当王子意识到这个严重的错误时，他跑回房间里想要救一救盖纳特，但一切为时已晚，勇敢的盖纳特死了，被自己的忠心的主人杀死了。王子哭了，为自己没有信任狗狗的忠诚，愚蠢地做出了一个懊悔终生的决定。
　　
　　今天，如果你去威尔士（英国）的斯诺登群山，那里的人们会带你去看埋葬盖纳特的墓地。这个墓地，不仅是要让世人记住这条勇敢忠诚的狗，而且更很重要的是，它警示着我们，在弄清事情的全部真相之前，不要急于作决定。（翻译：性恩行者）
