有一个男孩,来到树林里进行研究工作。他越走越深,忽然碰到一只大野狼。男孩紧张地说:“野狼大哥,求求你别把我吃掉。” 野狼因为已经吃饱,所以并不想吃男孩。他见男孩害怕成这个样子,便想捉弄他。他恐吓道:“如果你说出心里所想的三件事,我就放了你;如果有半句谎话,我就马上把你吃掉。” 男孩恢复了镇定,然后开口说道:“第一件事是:我不想碰到野狼,否则我就完了。” “第二件事是:我真希望野狼都变成瞎子,这样就没法子抓到我了。” “第三件事是:野狼总是找机会欺侮弱小的动物,还想把我们吃掉,而我们从来就没有做过对不起野狼的事情。所以,最好野狼在这世上消失。” 男孩鼓起勇气,一口气讲完三件心里想着的事。 野狼听了这些话,说:“你说的都是肺腑之言,我很钦佩你的勇气。你赶快走吧! ” 故事哲理: 在生活中,坦诚而有道理的话,有时也可感动恶人,因为你唤醒了他那已遭蒙蔽的良知。 The Courageous Boy A boy went inside a jungle to do some research. As he walked farther and farther, he bumped into a giant wolf. The boy mumbled in a nervous tone, “Brother wolf, I beg you not to take me as your dinner.” Since the wolf had just taken his meal, he had no intention to eat the boy. However, he wanted to have some fun with the frightened boy. He said to the boy, “If you can name three things that are on your mind, I’ll let you go. Remember, if you tell a lie,I’ll finish you off!” The boy calmed himself down and said, “All right, the first thing is, I’ve always wished not to come across a wolf, or else I’m done. Second, I wish all wolves would turn blind, so that they won’t be able to see and catch us. Third, the wolves always try to bully the smaller and weaker species. They even want to kill us for food. Yet we have done nothing wrong to them. So, it would be better if they disappeared from the earth.” The wolf admired the boy’s courage. He said, “I can tell that your words are from the bottom of your heart. You may go now!” Sometimes truthful remarks may touch the heart of an evil man. |
