伊索寓言:年轻的浪子与燕子

阅读 :

  The Spendthrift and the Swallow

  A YOUNG MAN, a great spendthrift, had run through all his patrimony and had but one good cloak left. One day he happened to see a Swallow, which had appeared before its season, skimming along a pool and twittering gaily. He supposed that summer had come, and went and sold his cloak. Not many days later, winter set in again with renewed frost and cold. When he found the unfortunate Swallow lifeless on the ground, he said, “Unhappy bird! what have you done? By thus appearing before the springtime you have not only killed yourself, but you have wrought my destruction also.”

  年轻的浪子与燕子

  年轻的浪子把传下来的祖业都挥霍一空,仅剩身穿的一件外衣。一天,他看见有一只燕子提早季节飞回,以为春天到了,不再要穿外衣了,便拿去卖了。不久一阵凛冽的北风袭来,非常寒冷,冻得他四处躲藏,碰巧见到燕子冻死在地上,便对他说道:「喂,朋友,你把我俩都毁了。」

  这个故事带出的启示就是:不按自然规律办事是十分危险的。
