伊索寓言:捕到石頭的漁夫
The Fishermen
SOME FISHERMEN were out trawling their nets. Perceiving them to be very heavy, they danced about for joy and supposed that they had taken a large catch. When they had dragged the nets to the shore they found but few fish: the nets were full of sand and stones, and the men were beyond measure cast downso much at the disappointment which had befallen them, but because they had formed such very different expectations. One of their company, an old man, said, "Let us cease lamenting, my mates, for, as it seems to me, sorrow is always the twin sister of joy; and it was only to be looked for that we, who just now were over-rejoiced, should next have something to make us sad."
捕到石頭的漁夫
漁夫們拉網時,覺得很沉重,他們高興得手舞足蹈,以為這一下子捕到了許多的魚。哪知把網拉到岸邊,網里卻滿是石頭和別的東西,沒有一條魚。他們十分懊喪,沒捕到魚倒也罷,難受的是事實與他們所預想的正好相反。他們中一個年老的漁夫說道:「朋友們,別難過,快樂總與痛苦在一起,她們如同一對姐妹。我們預先快樂過了,現在不得不忍受到一點點痛苦。」
這個故事帶出的啟示就是:人生變化萬千,正如有時晴朗的天空會突然發生風暴,不要因挫折而苦惱。
