伊索寓言:人與森林之神
The Man and the Satyr
A MAN and a Satyr once drank together in token of a bond of alliance being formed between them. One very cold wintry day, as they talked, the Man put his fingers to his mouth and blew on them. When the Satyr asked the reason for this, he told him that he did it to warm his hands because they were so cold. Later on in the day they sat down to eat, and the food prepared was quite scalding. The Man raised one of the dishes a little towards his mouth and blew in it. When the Satyr again inquired the reason, he said that he did it to cool the meat, which was too hot. "I can no longer consider you as a friend," said the Satyr, "a fellow who with the same breath blows hot and cold."
人與森林之神
傳說,從前有個人與一個森林之神薩堤羅斯交朋友。冬天到了,天氣變得十分寒冷,那人把手放到嘴邊不斷地呵起熱氣來。森林之神忙問這是甚么原因,為甚么要這樣做。那人回答說:「天寒手冷,呵熱氣手可變暖和些。」后來,他們同桌一起吃飯,桌上的飯菜熱氣騰騰,燙得很,那人夾起一點放到嘴邊。森林之神又問他這是為何。他說飯菜太燙,把它吹涼。森林之神對人說道:「喂,朋友!我只好同你絕交了,因為你這嘴能一會兒出熱氣,一會兒又出冷氣。」
這個故事帶出的啟示就是:切不可與那些反覆無常的人交朋友。
