Dear David:
I am afraid that you will think me unpardonably negligent in not having answered your letter dated 7, December sooner, but when I have told you the reason, I trust you will be convinced that the neglect was excusable. When your letter arrived, I was just in Hong Kong. As my family could not forward it to me during my absence, it has been, therefore, lying on my desk until the moment when I took it up. Now the first thing I have to hasten to do is to write to you these few lines to express my deep regret.
I enjoyed many pleasant sights during my trip. I shall be pleased to give you an account to of them when I see you next.
Sincerely yours,
Tom
春秋时代,越国有一位美女名叫西施。她的美貌简直到了倾国倾城的程度。无论是她的举手、投足,还是她的音容笑貌,样样都惹人喜爱。西施略用淡妆,衣着朴素,走到哪里,哪里就有很多人向她行"注目礼",没有人不惊叹她的美貌。
西施患有心口疼的毛病。有一天,她的病又犯了,只见她手捂胸口,双眉皱起,流露出一种娇媚柔弱的女性美。当她从乡间走过的时候,乡里人无不睁大眼睛注视。
乡下有一个丑女子,不仅相貌难看,而且没有修养。她平时动作粗俗,说话大声大气,却一天到晚做着当美女的梦。今天穿这样的衣服,明天梳那样的发式,却仍然没有一个人说她漂亮。
这一天,她看到西施捂着胸口、皱着双眉的样子竟博得这么多人的青睐,因此回去以后,她也学着西施的样子,手捂胸口、紧皱眉头,在村里走来走去。哪知这丑女的矫揉造作使她原本就丑陋的样子更难看了。其结果,乡间的富人看见丑女的怪模样,马上把门紧紧关上;乡间的穷人看见丑女走过来,马上拉着妻、带着孩子远远地躲开。人们见了这个怪模怪样模仿西施心口疼在村里走来走去的丑女人简直像见了瘟神一般。
寓言启示:这个丑女人只知道西施皱眉的样子很美,却不知道她为什么很美,而去简单模她的样子,结果反被人讥笑。看来,盲目模仿别人的做法是愚蠢的。

某大公司准备以高薪雇用一名小车司机,经过层层筛选和考试之后,只剩下三名技术最优良的竞争者。主考者问他们:“悬崖边有块金子,你们开着车去拿,觉得能距离悬崖多近而又不至于掉落呢?”“二公尺。”
第一位说。“半公尺。”
第二位很有把握地说。
“我会尽量远离悬崖,愈远愈好。”第三位说。
结果这家公司录取了第三位。
寓意:不要和诱惑较劲,而应离得越远越好。
