     A lot of people are familiar with the story of Brave Gelert, a dog that faithfully defended the prince's son,
but which was then killed while it was fast asleep through a terrible misunderstanding. However, only a few
people know that the story is really a pack of lies. Let me explain.
     About a hundred or so years ago there was a hotel owner in Wales who was fed up with business being
so bad. His hotel was stuck in the middle of nowhere and hardly anyone came to stay. Then, one day, he had
an idea. A famous prince called Llewellyn had lived in the area during the Middle Ages and had been keen on
dogs. This is hardly surprising as hunting was extremely popular at that time. So what he did was to make
up the story of the brave and faithful Gelert and how he had been killed by his ungrateful master.
     Of course, people would be far more likely to believe the story if there was something they could see. So
one day, the hotel keeper went to the top of a high hill and built a sort of monument from the stones he found
lying around A friend of his, who was an accountant, helped him to construct it. The "tale" soon caught on
and developed a life of its own. Afterwards, people came from far and wide to see the spot where the dog
was buried. Needless to say, business became very good for the hotel owner.
很多人都知道勇敢的格勒特的故事.它曾经忠诚地保护了王子的儿子,但最后却因一个误会在酣睡中被杀掉了.然而,很少人知道这个故事其实只是由许多的谎言串联而成的.让我来给你们讲一下其中的缘由.
大概一百多年以前,在威尔士有个开旅馆的,他一直因生意惨淡而烦恼.他的旅馆位于人际罕至的地方.后来有一天,他想到了一个办法.一个名叫李维林的王子在中世纪的时候曾在这个地方生活过.他非常的喜欢狗,这在打猎之风盛行的那个年代也是很常见的.因此他就编了一个勇敢忠诚的狗却被忘恩负义的主人杀害的故事.
但是人们往往是眼见为实耳听为虚.因此,旅馆老板就到山顶上找了块石头打造成了纪念碑.他的一个当会计的朋友帮了他.这个故事不久就传播开来,变得大家耳熟能详.
