蚂蚁和鸽子
The Ant and the Dove
有只口渴的蚂蚁来到河边喝水,却被水流冲到了河里,眼看就要淹死了。正好鸽子看见了,就马上丢给他一根树枝。蚂蚁靠着这根树枝,死里逃生。正在此时,岸上有一个捕鸟人手里拿着粘鸟竿准备捕捉鸽子。蚂蚁见状,就咬了捕鸟人一口。感到疼痛的捕鸟人猛然把竿子扔到了地上。听到声音的鸽子马上飞走了。
善有善报。
An Ant went to the bank of a river to quench its thirst,and being carried away by the rush of the stream,was on the point of drowning. A Dove sitting on a tree overhanging the water plucked a leaf and let it fall into the stream close to her. The Ant climbed onto it and floated in safety to the bank. Shortly afterwards a birdcatcher came and stood under the tree,and laid his lime-twigs for the Dove,which sat in the branches. The Ant,perceiving his design,stung him in the foot. In pain the birdcatcher threw down the twigs,and the noise made the Dove take wing.
