(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

A HEAVY WAGON¹ was being dragged along a country lane by a team of
Oxen. The Axle-trees groaned² and creaked terribly; whereupon the
Oxen, turning round, thus addressed the wheels: "Hullo there! why
do you make so much noise? We bear all the labor³, and we, not
you, ought to cry out."

Those who suffer most cry out the least.
