伊索寓言:老人与死神

阅读 :

  The Old Man and Death

  AN OLD MAN was employed in cutting wood in the forest, and, in carrying the faggots to the city for sale one day, became very wearied with his long journey. He sat down by the wayside, and throwing down his load, besought "Death" to come. "Death" immediately appeared in answer to his summons and asked for what reason he had called him. The Old Man hurriedly replied, "That, lifting up the load, you may place it again upon my shoulders."

  老人与死神

  有一天,有个老人砍了不少柴,十分吃力地挑着走了很远的路。一路上他累极了,实在挑不动了,便将担子放下,叫喊起死神来。死神来后,问他为甚么叫喊他,老人说:「尽管我已精疲力竭了,但还是请你把那担子放在我肩上。」

  这个故事带出的启示就是:即使生活不幸,人们仍爱惜生命。
