The Miser守財(cái)奴
A MISER sold all that he had and bought a lump of gold, which he
buried in a hole in the ground by the side of an old wall and
went to look at daily. One of his workmen observed his frequent
visits to the spot and decided to watch his movements. He soon
discovered the secret of the hidden treasure, and digging down,
came to the lump of gold, and stole it. The Miser, on his next
visit, found the hole empty and began to tear his hair and to
make loud lamentation
s. A neighbor, seeing him overcome with
grief and learning the cause, said, "Pray do not grieve so; but
go and take a stone, and place it in the hole, and fancy that the
gold is still lying there. It will do you quite the same
service; for when the gold was there, you had it not, as you did
not make the slightest use of it."
有個(gè)守財(cái)奴變賣了他所有的家產(chǎn)，換回了金塊，并秘密地埋在一個(gè)地方。他每天走去看 看他的寶藏。有個(gè)在附近放羊的牧人留心觀察，知道了真情，趁他走后，挖出金塊拿走了。 守財(cái)奴再來時(shí)，發(fā)現(xiàn)洞中的金塊沒有了，便捶胸痛哭。有個(gè)人見他如此悲痛，問明原因后， 說道：“喂，朋友，別再難過了，那塊金子雖是你買來的，但并不是你真正擁有的`。去拿一 塊石頭來，代替金塊放在洞里，只要你心里想著那是塊金子，你就會很高興。這樣與你擁有 真正的金塊效果沒什么不同。依我之見，你擁有那金塊時(shí)，也從沒用過。”
這故事說明，一切財(cái)物如不使用等于沒有。
The Man and the Lion人與同行的獅子
A MAN and a Lion traveled together through the forest. They soon
began to boast of their respective superiority to each other in
strength and prowess. As they were disputing, they passed a
statue carved in stone, which represented "a Lion strangled by a
Man." The traveler pointed to it and said: "See there! How strong
we are, and how we prevail over even the king of beasts." The
Lion replied: "This statue was made by one of you men. If we
Lions knew how to erect statues, you would see the Man placed
under the paw of the Lion."
One story is good, till another is told.
有一天，獅子與人同行趕路，他們互相吹噓自己。在路上，他們
看見一塊石碑，石碑上 刻著一個(gè)人征服幾頭獅子的圖畫。那人一邊指給獅子看，一邊說：“你看，事實(shí)證明我們比 你們強(qiáng)得多了吧。”獅子笑著說道：“如果獅子們會雕刻，那么你就會看見眾多人倒在獅子 腳下。”
這故事是說，那些自己毫無本事的人卻喜歡常常在別人面前炫耀自己。
The Flies and the Honey-Pot蒼蠅與蜜
A NUMBER of Flies were attracted to a jar of honey which had
been overturned in a housekeeper's room, and placing their feet in
it, ate greedily. Their feet, however, became so smeared with the
honey that they could not use their wings, nor release themselves,
and were suffocated. Just as they were expiring, they exclaimed,
"O foolish creatures that we are, for the sake of a little pleasure we
have destroyed ourselves."
Pleasure bought with pains, hurts.
房里有蜜漏流出來，許多蒼蠅便飛去飽餐起來。蜂蜜太甜美了，他們舍不得走。然而， 就在這時(shí)他們的腳被蜜粘住，再也飛不起來了。他們后悔不已，嗡嗡亂叫：“我們真不幸， 因貪圖一時(shí)的享受而喪了命。”
對于許多人來說，貪婪是許多災(zāi)禍的根源。
