一只虫子在阳光下说道：“我真希望没有太阳。他有什么用呢？如果它不照射，我就能走好远，那样一定会很高兴！” 一只秃鼻乌鸦听到这些,就过来说道：“你说得真是太不对了。太阳用途很大。如果没有阳光，我就不会看到你在这儿。” 说完他就一下子把它啄起来，咽到了肚子里。 一位圣人目睹了这些,说道：“虫子活得很短暂。全世界都需要太阳，然而它却不希望有太阳。很难和智力如此低下的东西打交道啊！因为他们就知道关心自己！” The Worm and the Sun A worm that was out in the sun, said, “I wish there was no sun at all. Of what use is he? If he did not shine, I would go far afield, and should be so glad. ” A rook that heard this came near and said, “You are quite wrong； the sun is of great use. I should not now have known that you were here but for his light. ” With these words he snatched him up in his bill and put him into his craw. A sage, who saw this, said, “The worm lived but a short while； yet he would have no sun, though all the world wants it. It is hard to deal with minds so low, for love of self is all they know! ” |
