A fox's tail was caught in a trap. When he was trying to release himself,he lost his whole tail except the stump. At first he was ashamed to see the other foxes because he had no tail, but he was determined to face his misfortune. He called all the foxes to a meeting. When they had gotten together,the fox said that they should all do away with their tails. He said that their tails were very inconvenient when they met with their enemies.
He did not talk about any advantages of the tail. "You are right," said one of the older foxes, "but I don’t think you would advise us to do away with our tails if you hadn't lost it yourself first." 一只狐狸的尾巴被夹住了.当它试着脱身时，整条尾巴都断了。 开始时，它看到其他狐狸的时候感到很羞愧，因为自己没有尾巴了，但是他决定面对自己的不幸。它叫了所有的狐狸来开会。 当它们都来了后，它尽最大的努力劝说其他狐狸也割掉它们的尾巴。它说当遭遇到敌人时，它们的尾巴会带来不便。 他没有说有尾巴的任何好处。“你说得对，”一只老狐狸说：“但是我不认为如果你没有失去你的尾巴，你会来劝大家都割去尾巴的。” 这故事告诉我们，自己不喜欢事情，不要强加在别人身上。己所不欲勿施于人 |
