伊索寓言：女主人與侍女們
The Widow and Her Little Maidens
A WIDOW who was fond of cleaning had two little maidens to wait on her. She was in the habit of waking them early in the morning， at cockcrow. The maidens， aggravated by such excessive labor， resolved to kill the cock who roused their mistress so early. When they had done this， they found that they had only prepared for themselves greater troubles， for their mistress， no longer hearing the hour from the cock， woke them up to their work in the middle of the night.
女主人與侍女們
有個女主人很勤勞，她雇了幾名侍女。夜里每當公雞一打鳴，她就叫她們起來去干活。侍女們每天日夜勞作，累得精疲力盡，她們十分痛恨那只公雞，決定要弄死它，她們以為是那公雞不到天亮叫醒女主人，才使她們受苦受難。然而在她們把公雞弄死之后，反而比以前更為不幸。那女主人不知道雞叫的時間，總是在黑夜里更早地把她們叫起來去干活。
這個故事帶出的啟示就是：許多人的不幸往往是自己造成的。
