伊索寓言：運神像的驢子
The Ass Carrying the Image
AN ASS once carried through the streets of a city a famous wooden Image, to be placed in one of its Temples. As he passed along, the crowd made lowly prostration before the Image. The Ass, thinking that they bowed their heads in token of respect for himself, bristled up with pride, gave himself airs, and refused to move another step. The driver, seeing him thus stop, laid his whip lustily about his shoulders and said, "O you perverse dull-head! it is not yet come to this, that men pay worship to an Ass." They are not wise who give to themselves the credit due to others.
They are not wise who give to themselves the credit due to others.
運神像的驢子
有個人把神像放在驢子背上，趕著進城去。凡是遇見他們的人都對著神像頂禮膜拜。驢子以為人們是向它致敬，便洋洋得意，大喊大叫，再也不肯往前走了。驢夫見到這情形，明白了是甚么回事，立刻狠狠地給他一棍，并罵道：「喂，這蠢東西，人們給驢子鞠躬的時候還早得很哩！」
這個故事帶出的啟示就是：那些依靠別人獲得尊敬的人太不自量了。
