In serving the wicked, expect no reward, and be thankful if you escape injury for your pains. 狼误吞下了一块骨头,十分难受,四处奔走,寻访医生。他遇见了鹭鸶,谈定酬金请他 取出骨头,鹭鸶把自己的头伸进狼的喉咙里,叼出了骨头,便向狼要定好的酬金。狼回答 说:“喂,朋友,你能从狼嘴里平安无事地收回头来,难道还不满足,怎么还要讲报酬?
这故事说明,对坏人行善的报酬,就是认识坏人不讲信用的本质。
The Fisherman Piping吹箫的渔夫
A FISHERMAN skilled in music took his flute and his nets to the seashore. Standing on a projecting rock, he played several tunes in the hope that the fish, attracted by his melody, would of their own accord dance into his net, which he had placed below. At last, having long waited in vain, he laid aside his flute, and casting his net into the sea, made an excellent haul of fish. When he saw them leaping about in the net upon the rock he said: "O you most perverse creatures, when I piped you would not dance, but now that I have ceased you do so merrily." 有一个会吹箫的渔夫,带着他心爱的箫和渔网来到了海边。他先站在一块突出的岩石 上,吹起箫来,心想鱼听到这美妙音乐就会自己跳到他的前面来的。他聚精会神地吹了好 久,毫无结果。他只好将箫放下,拿起网来,向水里撒去,结果捕到了许多的鱼。他将网中 的鱼一条条地扔到岸上,并对乱蹦乱跳的鱼说:“喂,你们这些不识好歹的东西!我吹箫 时,你们不跳舞,现在我不吹了,你们倒跳了起来。 这故事适用于那些做事不择时机的人们。
