这天天气晴朗，鸟儿在枝头唱歌，狐狸悠闲地在树林里来回散步。 忽然传来一阵咿咿呀呀的声音，狐狸探过头去，看见一只野猪正拿着石头磨着獠牙。 狐狸奇怪地问：“野猪大哥，你有没搞错？难得天气这么好，你不好好睡觉，却在这儿磨牙啊！” 野猪只顾着磨牙，没有理睬他。 狐狸还是不放弃，说：“真是奇怪，今天森林里那么安静，一个猎人的影子都没有。狮子也不见了，大熊也不在附近徘徊了，那你为什么还要磨牙呢？” “狐狸老弟，你以为我闲来无事，磨着好玩啊？” 狐狸说：“不是吗？我看不出有什么危险呀！” “没错，现在没有危险，所以我才要趁这时候把牙磨利。要不然等到被猎人或狮子追赶时，就已经来不及了。现在把牙磨利，碰到敌人侵袭时，就可以自卫啦！”野猪说完，又继续磨牙了。 故事哲理: 在危险还未到来之前应事先预防，否则，危险临头才来想办法应付就来不及了。 The Wild Boar That Sharpened His Tusks It was a fine day. The birds were chirping on the branches of the trees. A fox was walking about in the jungle. Suddenly, he heard a strange sound and saw a wild boar sharpening his tusks with a piece of stone. The fox asked, “Hi, my dear friend, why are you sharpening your tusks? Since it is such a nice day, why aren’t you doing something more interesting?” The wild boar did not bother with the fox. He continued sharpening his tusks. The fox asked again, “I don’t see any danger. Everything is calm. There are no hunters, lions or even a bear walking around here. So, why are you busy sharp-ening your tusks?” The wild boar now answered, “My dear Fox, do you think I sharpen my tusks just for fun? Or because I am bored?” “So?” said the fox. “I don’t see any danger!” "That is true,” answered the wild boar, “but I won’t have time to sharpen my tusks when I am really in danger. If I don’t get ready now, I will be in a lot of trouble later.” When the fox heard the wild boar’s answer, he felt embarrassed and quickly left. Be prepared for emergencies. |
