英蕊乐园—让孩子爱上英语

一个旅客雇了一头驴，骑着它到远处去。那天天气很热，赤日炎炎。他停下来休息，躲避在驴子的影子下，求个荫凉，避免暴晒。驴子的影子仅够遮蔽一个人，于是旅客和驴子的主人为了遮荫激烈地争起来，谁都认为自己才有这个权利。驴子的主人坚持说他仅出租驴子本身，不出租驴子的影子。那旅客说他雇的驴子包括驴子本身和影子。他们争论不休，以至互相打了起来。当他们打架时，驴子逃跑了。
这是说，人们往往为小事争吵不休，从而失去了最重要的东西。

A traveler hired a donkey, ride it to go the distance. The weather was very hot that day, the scorching sun. He stopped to rest, refuge in the shadow of the donkey, and a shade, avoid exposure. Donkeys barely enough to cover the shadow of a person, then the owner of passengers and donkeys to shade fierce fighting, who think they have this right. Donkey owner insisted that he only letting donkeys themselves, not the shadow of letting donkeys. The visitors said that he employed the ass and the shadow. They debate, and even fight each other up. When they fight, donkeys away.
 
That is to say, people often trivial bickering, thus losing the most important things.
