池边的小鹿
Because of heat, a deer came to a spring to drink. Seeing his own shadow reflecting in the water, he greatly admired the size and variety of his horns, but felt angry with himself for having such slender and weak feet.
While he was in deep thought, a lion appeared at the pool and sprang upon him. The deer immediately began to run away as fast as possible. As long as the road was smooth and open, he kept himself at ease at a safe distance from the lion. But entering a wood he became entangled by his horns, and the lion quickly came up to him and caught him. When too late he thus regretted, “My god! How have I cheated myself! These feet saved me, but I had despised them, and I was proud of these antlers which have brought me destruction.”
We often look down upon what is most truly valuable in our life.
天气炎热,一只鹿来到泉边饮水。看着自己倒映在水中的影子,鹿很欣赏他头上那巨大的鹿角和它们的参差有致,也为自己细长而柔弱的脚饿懊恼。
正当他沉思的时候,一头狮子出现在池边,向他猛扑过来。鹿立刻以最快的速度逃走了。跑在平坦宽阔的路上,他很容易保持离狮子安全的距离,但一进树林,他就被自己的角缠住了。狮子迅速赶上来抓住了他。鹿此时悔之晚矣:””天啊!我怎么会自己欺骗自己!这些脚本来可以救我的命,我却轻视,而这些置我于死地的角我却感到荣耀。
在生活中,我们常常轻视一些真正有价值的东西。
