伊索寓言：金丝雀与蝙蝠
The Cage Bird and the Bat
A singing bird was confined in a cage which hung outside a window, and had a way of singing at night when all other birds were asleep. One night a Bat came and clung to the bars of the cage, and asked the Bird why she was silent by day and sang only at night. "I have a very good reason for doing so," said the Bird. "It was once when I was singing in the daytime that a fowler was attracted by my voice, and set his nets for me and caught me. Since then I have never sung except by night." But the Bat replied, "It is no use your doing that now when you are a prisoner: if only you had done so before you were caught, you might still have been free."
"Precautions are useless after the crisis."
金丝雀与蝙蝠
挂在窗口笼里的金丝雀，在夜里歌唱。蝙蝠听到后，飞过来问她为甚么白天默默无声，在夜间却放声歌唱。金丝雀回答说，她这样是有道理的，因为他是在白天唱歌时被捉住的，从此他变得谨慎了。蝙蝠说：「你现在才懂得谨慎已没用了，你若在被捉住之前就懂得，那该多好呀！」
这个故事带出的启示就是：不幸的事发生之后，后悔是徒然的。
