池邊的小鹿
Because of heat, a deer came to a spring to drink. Seeing his own shadow reflecting in the water, he greatly admired the size and variety of his horns, but felt angry with himself for having such slender and weak feet.
While he was in deep thought, a lion appeared at the pool and sprang upon him. The deer immediately began to run away as fast as possible. As long as the road was smooth and open, he kept himself at ease at a safe distance from the lion. But entering a wood he became entangled by his horns, and the lion quickly came up to him and caught him. When too late he thus regretted, “My god! How have I cheated myself! These feet saved me, but I had despised them, and I was proud of these antlers which have brought me destruction.”
We often look down upon what is most truly valuable in our life.
天氣炎熱,一只鹿來到泉邊飲水??粗约旱褂吃谒械挠白?,鹿很欣賞他頭上那巨大的鹿角和它們的參差有致,也為自己細(xì)長而柔弱的腳餓懊惱。
正當(dāng)他沉思的時候,一頭獅子出現(xiàn)在池邊,向他猛撲過來。鹿立刻以最快的速度逃走了。跑在平坦寬闊的路上,他很容易保持離獅子安全的距離,但一進樹林,他就被自己的角纏住了。獅子迅速趕上來抓住了他。鹿此時悔之晚矣:””天啊!我怎么會自己欺騙自己!這些腳本來可以救我的命,我卻輕視,而這些置我于死地的角我卻感到榮耀。
在生活中,我們常常輕視一些真正有價值的東西。
