伊索寓言:公雞與野雞
The Gamecocks and the Partridge
A MAN had two Gamecocks in his poultry-yard. One day by chance he found a tame Partridge for sale. He purchased it and brought it home to be reared with his Gamecocks. When the Partridge was put into the poultry-yard, they struck at it and followed it about, so that the Partridge became grievously troubled and supposed that he was thus evilly treated because he was a stranger. Not long afterwards he saw the Cocks fighting together and not separating before one had well beaten the other. He then said to himself, "I shall no longer distress myself at being struck at by these Gamecocks, when I see that they cannot even refrain from quarreling with each other."
公雞與野雞
有個人在家里喂養了些公雞。有一天,他在市場上遇見了一只馴化的野雞,便買下帶回家來,與公雞關養在一起。那些公雞都追啄他,野雞原以為他是外來的關系,才遭受欺負。過了幾天后,他見到那些公雞相互斗架,彼此斗得頭破血流,還不肯停下來。於是,他自言自語地說:「現在,我再不怨恨被他們所欺了,因為我親眼看到他們自己也不能互相寬容?!?/p>
這個故事帶出的啟示就是:聰明的人若看見鄰里與家人還不能互相寬容,那他們得不到這些人的寬容就不足為奇了。
