禅师将一杯水和一面镜子交给弟子。
禅师说:“以后它们就是你的老师,你要努力向它们学习。”
弟子说:“我跟水学习什么?”
禅师说:“跟水学习如何面对不同的空间!无论把水倒进什么形状的容器,水都会随之改变形状,永不抱怨空间的改变。”
弟子说:“我跟镜子学习什么?”
禅师说:“跟镜子学习如何面对不同的世界!无论镜子面对怎样的情境,它都能如实反映,毫无遗漏。”
弟子说:“为什么它们能做到这样?”
禅师说:“因为水没有自我,镜子无心,因此不落入空想而迷失了自己。”
在这么多的小伙伴中,小猴顶顶瞧不起的就是小刺猬了。瞧他那丑样儿:满身插着大针,又尖又小的脑袋,老是缩在肚子下面,一副胆小怕事的样子。
有一天,小伙伴们在玩捉迷藏,小刺猬也想参加,小猴不高兴了:"去去去,你凑什么热闹?"小鹿和小松鼠都为小刺猬求情道:"让小刺猬来吧,小猴!""哼,让他来,他能干什么?呆头笨脑的。"小猴叽咕道。这话太不公平了!小白兔跳出来打抱不平:"小刺猬并不笨,每天夜里他都能捉几只老鼠。""捉老鼠有什么了不起?"小猴提高了嗓门窗道,"他能像我跑得那样快吗?能像我一样爬上这棵树吗?"大伙儿不吭声了。
捉迷藏开始了。小白兔撒腿往草丛里跑,雪白的身子被长长的草遮住了。忽然,小白兔惊惶地尖叫起来"蛇!蛇!"小猴大喊一声"快跑!"他第一个转身就跑。小白兔、小松鼠和小鹿跟在后边。蛇拉直了身体,拼命朝前追。经过小刺猬跟前,小刺猬一下子咬住了蛇的尾巴,然后把头缩进肚子底下。蛇把头抬得高高的,凶狠地摇了摇,想咬死小刺猬。小刺猬一点儿也不害怕,还是紧紧地咬住蛇尾巴不放,蛇盘成一团,想绞死小刺猬。小刺猬鼓足劲,弓起背,全身的尖刺都竖起来。蛇的身上被刺了无数个小洞,蛇挣扎几下,最后一动也不动了。
小伙伴们回来后看到小刺猬把毒蛇给刺死了,大伙都说:"多亏你救了我们!""小刺猬真了不起!"
小猴红着脸,低着头说:"小刺猬,你勇敢,我以前小看你了,请原谅我吧!"
Wolf, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea, which should justify to the Lamb himself his right to eat him. He thus addressed him:"Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me." "Indeed," bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, "I was not then born." Then said the Wolf, "You feed in my pasture."
"No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink of my well." "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother′s milk is both food and drink to me." On which the Wolf seized him, and ate him up, saying, "Well! I won′t remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations."The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.
狼和小羊
一只狼瞧见一只迷路失群的小羊,决定暂缓下毒手,想先找一些理由,对小羊证明自己有吃它的权利。它就说:「小鬼!你去年曾经骂过我。」小羊可怜地说:「老实说,我去年还没有出生呢。」狼再说:「你在我的草地上吃过草。」
小羊回答说:「不,好先生,我还未曾尝过草的味道呢。」狼又说:「你喝过我井里的.水。」小羊叫道:「不,我从没有喝过水,因为直到今天为止,我都是吃着母亲的奶汁。」狼一听这话,便抓住它,把它吃下去,便说:「好!即使你驳倒我每一句话,我终究要吃晚餐的!」暴君总有他暴行的借口。
