伊索寓言:獅子與報恩的老鼠
The Lion and the Mouse
Once when a Lion was asleep a little Mouse began running up and down upon him; this soon wakened the Lion, who placed his huge paw upon him, and opened his big jaws to swallow him. "Pardon, O King," cried the little Mouse: "forgive me this time, I shall never forget it: who knows but what I may be able to do you a turn some of these days?" The Lion was so tickled at the idea of the Mouse being able to help him, that he lifted up his paw and let him go. Some time after the Lion was caught in a trap, and the hunters who desired to carry him alive to the King, tied him to a tree while they went in search of a waggon to carry him on. Just then the little Mouse happened to pass by, and seeing the sad plight in which the Lion was, went up to him and soon gnawed away the ropes that bound the King of the Beasts. "Was I not right?" said the little Mouse.
Little friends may prove great friends.
獅子與報恩的老鼠
獅子睡著了,有只老鼠跳到了他身上。獅子猛然站起來,把他抓住,準備吃掉。老鼠請求饒命,并說如果保住性命,必將報恩,獅子輕蔑地笑了笑,便把他放走了。不久,獅子真的被老鼠救了性命。原來獅子被一個獵人抓獲,并用繩索把他捆在一棵樹上。老鼠聽到了他的哀嚎,走過去咬斷繩索,放走了獅子,并說:「你當時嘲笑我,不相信能得到我的報答,現在可清楚了,老鼠也能報恩?!?/p>
這個故事帶出的啟示就是:時運交替變更,強者有時也會有需要弱者幫助的時候。
