Welp, I swore I would never do this again but I found this (and several other short stories) in an in-flight magazine and couldn't resist typing it up. I've checked and checked for typos, but they're had to scan for in Chinese, so if you run across one, please comment. 

The Chinese title is 沉默的狗

傍晚，一只羊独自在山坡上玩，突然从树木中窜出一只狼来，要吃羊，羊挑起来，拼命用角抵抗，并大声向朋友们救命。

牛在树丛中向这个地方望了一眼，发现是狼，跑走了。

马低头一看，发现是狼，一溜烟跑了。

驴停下脚步，发现是狼，悄悄溜下山坡。

猪经过这里，发现是狼，冲下山坡。

兔子一听，更是一箭一般离去。

山下的狗听见羊的呼喊，急忙奔上坡来，从草丛中闪出，一下咬住了狼的脖子，狼疼得直叫唤, 趁够换气时，怆惶挑走了。

回到家，朋友都来了，
牛说：你怎么不告诉我？我的角可以剜出狼的肠子。
马说：你怎么不告诉我？我的蹄子能踢碎狼的脑袋。
驴说：你怎么不告诉我？我一声吼叫，吓破狼的胆。
猪说：你怎么不告诉我？ 我用嘴一拱，就让它摔下山去。
兔子说：你怎么不告诉我？ 我跑得快，可以传心呀。

在这闹嚷嚷的一群中，唯独没有狗。

Monkey went to the hospital on a lark, and entered the doctor's room. At that moment, the doctor wasn't in, and he'd left his [doctor's] clothes in the room.

Monkey thought this would be fun, so he put on the doctor's clothes, that white lab coat we see so often. Just then a little bear came to the hospital to see the doctor. This was the little bear's first time at the hospital, and he didn't know what hospitals were like [lit: didn't know the hospital situation]. All he knew was that doctors wear white lab coats. 

The little bear had shown up at the hospital carrying a basket of peaches (this was the payment he had prepared to give to the doctor), and he happened to walk into the room where Monkey was. Little Bear didn't know Monkey, but he recognized the white lab coat, so he asked Monkey to examine him.

Monkey originally just [intended to] have a bit of fun, but when he saw Little Bear's basket, he coveted it fiercely. So Monkey put on a big show of examining Little Bear, and accepted his well-earned basket of peaches. As to whether or not Monkey actually cured Little Bear, we will never know. 

However, after Monkey tasted that sweetness, he often stole into the hospital, taking advantage of the doctor's absence, and examined patients. Later, Monkey simply made himself one of those kind of white lab coats. 

Ai! We don't know how many people were examined by Monkey!
