The Fawn and His Father 小鹿与他的父亲
阅读 : 次
A YOUNG FAWN once said to his Father, "You are larger than a
dog, and swifter, and more used to running, and you have your
horns as a defense; why, then, O Father! do the hounds frighten
you so?"
He smiled, and said: "I know full well, my son, that all you say
is true. I have the advantages you mention, but when I hear even
the bark of a single dog I feel ready to faint, and fly away as
fast as I can."
No arguments will give courage to the coward.
有一天，小鹿对公鹿说道，“父亲，你怎么还怕狗呢？你比他高大，比他跑得更快，而 且还有很大的角用于自卫。”公鹿笑着说：“孩儿，你说得都对，可我只知道一点，一听到 狗的叫声，我就会不由自主地立刻逃跑。”
这故事说明，激励那些天生胆小、软
弱的人毫无用处。
