The Flies and the Honey-Pot 蒼蠅與蜜
閱讀 : 次
A NUMBER of Flies were attracted to a jar of honey which had
been overturned in a housekeeper's room, and placing their feet in
it, ate greedily. Their feet, however, became so smeared with the
honey that they could not use their wings, nor release themselves,
and were suffocated. Just as they were expiring, they exclaimed,
"O foolish creatures that we are, for the sake of a little pleasure we
have destroyed ourselves."
Pleasure bought with pains, hurts.
房里有蜜漏流出來，許多蒼蠅便飛去飽餐起來。蜂蜜太甜美了，他們舍不得走。然而， 就在這時他們的腳被蜜粘住，再也飛不起來了。他們后悔不已，嗡嗡亂叫：“我們真不幸， 因貪圖一時的享受而喪了命。”
對于許多人來說，貪婪是許多災禍的根源。
