伊索寓言:狼與鷺鷥
The Wolf and the Crane
A Wolf had been gorging on an animal he had killed, when suddenly a small bone in the meat stuck in his throat and he could not swallow it. He soon felt terrible pain in his throat, and ran up and down groaning and groaning and seeking for something to relieve the pain. He tried to induce every one he met to remove the bone. "I would give anything," said he, "if you would take it out." At last the Crane agreed to try, and told the Wolf to lie on his side and open his jaws as wide as he could. Then the Crane put its long neck down the Wolf's throat, and with its beak loosened the bone, till at last it got it out.
"Will you kindly give me the reward you promised?" said the Crane.
The Wolf grinned and showed his teeth and said: "Be content. You have put your head inside a Wolf's mouth and taken it out again in safety; that ought to be reward enough for you."
Gratitude and greed go not together.
狼與鷺鷥
狼誤吞下了一塊骨頭,十分難受,四處奔走,尋訪醫生。他遇見了鷺鷥,談定酬金請他取出骨頭,鷺鷥把自己的頭伸進狼的喉嚨里,叼出了骨頭,便向狼要定好的酬金。狼回答說:「喂,朋友,你能從狼嘴里平安無事地收回頭來,難道還不滿足,怎么還要講報酬?」
這個故事帶出的啟示就是:對壞人行善的報酬,就是認識壞人不講信用的本質。
