蚊子觉得很无聊,想找个同伴说说话。他不停地飞,终于看到正在吃草的公牛。 蚊子在公牛的四周嗡嗡地飞来飞去,想引起公牛的注意。可是,公牛只顾着吃草,没理会蚊子。 飞得累了,蚊子想歇歇脚,就在公牛的犄角上停了下来。 不久,蚊子对公牛说:“公牛大哥,如果我的体重增加了您的负担,请别客气地告诉我,我可马上离开这里到其他的地方歇息。” 公牛答道:“老实说,你的体重对我而言根本没感觉,你的去留我也一点都不在意。不过,你最好给我安静下来,否则我会给你颜色瞧! ” 故事哲理: 不自量力或自高自大的人,不论到哪里都是不受欢迎的。 The Mosquito and the Bull One day,a mosquito was feeling very bored. She wanted to talk to someone. So she flew about looking for someone to talk to. In the end she saw a bull grazing in a field. The mosquito buzzed around the bull. She wanted to attract the bull’s attention. However, the hungry bull continued eating. He did not bother with the mosquito. Soon the mosquito felt tired. She wanted to take a rest. She flew down and rested on the bull’s horn. The mosquito waited for the bull to chase her away but he did not do anything. He continued eating. The mosquito became impatient as the bull continued to ignore her. Then she began talking to him. “Hi, my friend. If you feel that I,m too heavy, let me know. I will rest somewhere else.” Finally, the bull said, “Your weight is not a problem to me, and I don't feel anything at all. What I want is silence. So please leave me alone.” The mosquito was embarrassed. She flew away from the bull. Sometimes we may think what we do is very important, but other people may not think so. |
