ある時、オオカミ軍とイヌ軍の間に、
At that time, between the wolf army and the dog army,

a conflict occurred.
イヌたちは、１匹のギリシャ犬を大将に選びました。
The dogs chose one Greek dog as a general.
ところがこの大将は、オオカミ軍がいくらおどしをかけてきても、いっこうに応戦しようとしません
However, this general did not try to fight back at all, no matter how much the wolf army tried to threat
どうしてわたしがぐずぐずしているか、わかりますか？
"Do you know why I am trying to prolong it?"
と、イヌの大将はオオカミに言いました。
the dog general said to the wolves.
それは、何事も取りかかる前に良く考える事が、肝心だからですよ
"That's because it is importance to think carefully before doing anything
それで、見渡した所、
and when I look around,
あなた方オオカミ軍は、みんな同じ血筋で同じ毛色をしていますね。
your wolf forces all have the same bloodline and same coat color.
ところが我がイヌ軍は、それぞれがたいそう違ったくせを持ったものの集まりで、
However, my dog army is a group of ones with very different habits,
どのイヌも自分の生まれた国を自慢にしています。
every dog is proud of their birth place.
毛の色さえもまちまちで、黒い犬もいれば、茶色のイヌもいる、
Even the color of hair is different, there are some black dogs and some brown dogs,
白いのも、灰色のもいます。
there are white and grey ones, too.
こんなに考え方から何から全部違う連中をまとめて戦争させるなんて、
Assemble together all the people who are completely different in thoughts and make them fight like this,
出来そうもありませんからね
is really impossible."
１人１人がどんなに優秀でも、みんなが心を合わせて勝とうとしなければ、相手に負けてしまうでしょう
No matter how good each one is, if everyone does not try to fight and win together, they will lose.
