伊索寓言：运神像的驴子
The Ass Carrying the Image
AN ASS once carried through the streets of a city a famous wooden Image, to be placed in one of its Temples. As he passed along, the crowd made lowly prostration before the Image. The Ass, thinking that they bowed their heads in token of respect for himself, bristled up with pride, gave himself airs, and refused to move another step. The driver, seeing him thus stop, laid his whip lustily about his shoulders and said, "O you perverse dull-head! it is not yet come to this, that men pay worship to an Ass." They are not wise who give to themselves the credit due to others.

运神像的驴子
有个人把神像放在驴子背上，赶着进城去。凡是遇见他们的人都对着神像顶礼膜拜。驴子以为人们是向它致敬，便洋洋得意，大喊大叫，再也不肯往前走了。驴夫见到这情形，明白了是甚么回事，立刻狠狠地给他一棍，并骂道：「喂，这蠢东西，人们给驴子鞠躬的时候还早得很哩！」
这个故事带出的启示就是：那些依靠别人获得尊敬的人太不自量了。
