伊索寓言:寒鴉與鴿子
The Jackdaw and the Doves
A JACKDAW, seeing some Doves in a cote abundantly provided with food, painted himself white and joined them in order to share their plentiful maintenance. The Doves, as long as he was silent, supposed him to be one of themselves and admitted him to their cote. But when one day he forgot himself and began to chatter, they discovered his true character and drove him forth, pecking him with their beaks. Failing to obtain food among the Doves, he returned to the Jackdaws. They too, not recognizing him on account of his color. expelled him from living with them. So desiring two ends, he obtained neither.
寒鴉與鴿子
寒鴉看見一群不愁吃喝的鴿子舒適地住在鴿舍里,便將自己的羽毛全都涂成白色,跑到鴿舍里,與他們一起過活。寒鴉一直不敢出聲,鴿子便以為他也是只鴿子,允許他在-起生活,可是,有一次,他不留心,發出了一聲叫聲,鴿子們立刻辨認出了他的本來面目,將他啄趕出來。寒鴉在鴿子那里再也吃不到食了,只好又回到他的同類那里。然而他的毛色與以前不同了,寒鴉們不認識他,不讓他與他們一起生活。這樣,這只寒鴉因想貪得兩份,最后卻一份都沒得到。
這個故事帶出的啟示就是:人們應該滿足於自己所有的東西,貪得無厭,最后會一無所獲。
