A man wanted to buy an ass. He went to the market, and saw a likely one. But he wanted to test him first. So he took the ass home, and put him into the stable with the other asses. The new ass looked around, and immediately went to choose a place next to the laziest ass in the stable. When the man saw this he put a halter on the ass at once, and gave him back to his owner.
The owner felt quite surprised. He asked the man, "Why are you back so soon? Have you tested him already?" "I don't want to test him any more," replied the man, "From the companion he chose for himself,I could see what sort of animal he is." 有一个人想要去买一头驴，他到了市场，看中了一头外表不错的驴。但是他想要考验一下它。 他把驴牵回家，放在其他驴之间。这头驴四处看了看，立即现选择走到一头好吃懒做的驴旁边。 当这个人看到这种情况，立刻给那头驴套上辔头，牵去还给驴的卖主。 卖主感到很奇怪。他问这个人：“你怎么这么快就还回来了？你已经测试完了吗？”“不必再试了，”这个人回答，“从他所选择的朋友来看，我已经知道他是什么样了。” |
