一个晴朗的午后,在麦田尽头的牛瓜角树下,一场小足球赛正激烈地进行着,引来了不少观众,有小孩,也有大人。
矮墙边,有一个用书包和帽子做成的简易球门。球门正中央,站着一个沉稳的小球守门员。他肤色微棕。上身穿着一件黑色白领的短袖衫,下着一条青绿色裤子,右腿膝盖上有一处擦伤口,用白纱布包着。只见他半蹲着,身子微微向前倾。双腿叉着,目光炯炯有神,望着前方,,严阵以待,随时准备扑上前接住球。
在他身后,站着一位候补守门员。他身着红色运动服,努着嘴,似乎迫切想上阵呢!
左边是一排长木凳,凳上坐着观看球赛的人们。一个黑黑的小男孩搂着他的小弟弟,俩人都聚精会神地看着,一只不知是谁家的哈巴狗正趴在地上打呼噜;旁边有三个红领巾,第一个小男孩似乎被什么挡住了视线,情不自禁地弯下了腰,他后边的男孩则使劲伸着脖子,戴蝴蝶结的小女孩索性站了起来;前面还有一位束发姑娘,她抱着心爱的洋娃娃,挺直着腰板,满脸泛着红晕;最前面的是一位大个子叔叔,他身着西服,顶着礼帽,脸上绽着笑容,仿佛回忆起他自己儿时在球场上的飒爽英姿。
河边,阳光在涟漪上闪烁跳动,仿佛是不息的小梭子在织着金色的挂毯。这时,只听见风和水潺潺相激的声音,看见花儿默默无言秘密。大家一同注视着眼前的这一幕……
Lion was awakened from sleep by a mouse running over his face.
Rising up in anger, he caught him and was about to kill him, when the mouse piteouslyentreated, saying: "If you would only spare my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness." The lion laughed and let him go.
It happened shortly after this that the lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him by strong ropes to the ground.
The mouse, recognizing his roar, came up, and gnawed the rope with his teeth, and setting him free, exclaimed: "You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, not expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favour; but now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to confer benefits on a lion."
Little friends may prove great friends.
一只老鼠从一只狮子面前跑过去,将它从梦中吵醒。
狮子生气地跳起来,捉住老鼠,要弄死它。老鼠哀求说:“只要你肯饶恕我这条小生命,我将来一定会报答你的大恩。”狮子便笑着放了它。
后来狮子被几个猎人捉住,用粗绳捆绑倒在地上。
老鼠听出是狮子的吼声,走来用牙齿咬断绳索,释放了牠,并大声说:“你当时嘲笑我想帮你的忙,而且也不指望我有什么机会报答。但是你现在知道了,就算是小老鼠,也能向狮子效劳的。”
强者不会永远是强者,强者也会有需要弱者帮助的时候。
A WOLF who had a bone stuck in his throat hired a Crane, for a large sum, to put her head into his mouth and draw out the bone. When the Crane had extracted the bone and demanded the promised payment, the Wolf, grinning and grinding his teeth, exclaimed: "Why, you have surely already had a sufficient recompense, in having been permitted to draw out your head in safety from the mouth and jaws of a wolf."
In serving the wicked, expect no reward, and be thankful if you escape injury for your pains.
狼误吞下了一块骨头,十分难受,四处奔走,寻访医生。他遇见了鹭鸶,谈定酬金请他 取出骨头,鹭鸶把自己的头伸进狼的喉咙里,叼出了骨头,便向狼要定好的酬金。狼回答 说:“喂,朋友,你能从狼嘴里平安无事地收回头来,难道还不满足,怎么还要讲报酬?”
这故事说明,对坏人行善的报酬,就是认识坏人不讲信用的本质。
