伊索寓言：小偷與公雞
The Thieves and the Cock
SOME THIEVES broke into a house and found nothing but a Cock， whom they stole， and got off as fast as they could. Upon arriving at home they prepared to kill the Cock， who thus pleaded for his life： “Pray spare me； I am very serviceable to men. I wake them up in the night to their work.” “That is the very reason why we must the more kill you，” they replied； “for when you wake your neighbors， you entirely put an end to our business.”
The safeguards of virtue are hateful to those with evil intentions.
小偷與公雞
幾個(gè)小偷悄悄地溜進(jìn)一戶人家里，甚么也沒偷到，僅發(fā)現(xiàn)一只公雞，便抓住他偷走了。當(dāng)小偷們要?dú)⒐u時(shí)，公雞請求放了他，并說他對人們是有益處的，每天天不亮?xí)r，他就把人們叫醒起來去工作。小偷們回答說：「單憑這一點(diǎn)，非要你死不可，你把人們都叫醒就妨礙了我們偷盜。」
這個(gè)故事帶出的啟示就是：那些對於好人有益的事正是對於壞人有害的。
