遥远的村庄里有一个名叫巴拉特的傻子。一天，有人给了他一只罐子,让他去一个名叫普拉赛德的家里弄一些新鲜的自制的芒果汁。他边走边大声地哼着曲儿，可是不知怎么回 事，一不小心就把罐子摔到了石头上。 到普拉赛德家时，他把罐子的把手给普拉赛德看,说道：“邻村的一个人送给你这个罐子，但是在我来的路上，一块令人讨厌的石头偷走了它。" 听了他的解释,普拉赛德感到好笑，为了验证他说的是否前后一致，就说道："既然罐子被偷走了，为什么你还把把手拿给我呢？" 普拉赛德想了片刻说：“我可不像人们想像得那么愚蠢，因此我把把手带回来证明我说的都是真的。" The Simpleton and the Jug One day in a village far away, a simpleton by the name of Bharat, was given a jar and sent to collect fresh homemade mango juice from the home of a man named, Prasad. As he walked along whistling a tune out loud, he somehow managed to be careless and smashed the jar against a rock. When he arrived at Prasad's house, he presented him with the handle of the jar and said, “A man from the neighboring village sent you this jar, but a horrid stone stole it from me while I was walking here. ” Amused by this explanation and eager to test his coherence, Prasad asked, “Since the jar has been stolen, why are you offering me the handle?” Bharat thought for a brief second and replied, “I am not as silly as people might say and so, I have brought the jar's handle to prove my story!” |
