The Lord and the Hermit
Once upon a time there was a rapacious lord. He was relentless to his tenants and quelled them by placing quotas to their living condition. Soon he collected quantitatively great revenue and lived in a radiate palace. He was also renowned for his queer clothes.
One day the lord’s disease relapsed, so he rallied his subordinates for help. One of them said: “I’ve heard of a recluse who knows regimen well residing nearby. Why not visit his residence for help?” Another retorted: “Be prudent, maybe it is only a rumor.” But the rash lord was filled with rapture and ratified the visiting plan.??
On the next Sunday, the lord purged himself, held a quaint rite and started for the hermit’s home. They passed rugged rustic passages full of paddles and the lord almost recoiled. Finally they arrived. The lord felt disappointed at the recluse’s reception, but he wouldn’t relinquish the chance and talked to the hermit with reverence.
The hermit ruminated and reverted to the main topic in a pungent voice: “I’ve heard lots of your ravenous deeds. You retract the land you’ve distributed to the farmers and order them to redeem their land. You must redress your guilt and rehabilitate their freedom. Reimburse their respective debts and build refuge for them. You can retain the residue of your property.”??
The lord was reluctant to renounce his wealth and be rent from his palace. He rebuked: “Your advice is too reckless. I’m resolute not to accept it.”
“Why so repulsive? You cannot repudiate my words.” The hermit reiterated his suggestion and its resonance echoed. “Remit their taxes with rebates, or a riot is imminent.”
The lord again refuted. At last he went back in remorse.
一个阳光灿烂的早晨,小猪胖胖去朋友家玩。它拿着两根香蕉,津津有味地边走边吃。吃完后,随手把香蕉皮往地上一扔。
大象伯伯看到了,用它的长鼻子抓起了香蕉皮,连忙对小猪说:小猪,你这样做是不对的,如果别人没有看清地上,一脚踩了上去,是会摔跤的。小猪反对道:这有啥关系呢?反正有清洁工会打扫的'。说完,它一边吃着香蕉,一边夸、夸、夸!地迈开大步走了。心想:这大象伯伯真是多管闲事!大象伯伯无奈地摇了摇头,把香蕉皮扔进了垃圾桶。
在路上,胖胖遇上了熊猫乐乐,它很开心,和乐乐一边说笑一边走。突然,乐乐啊!大叫了一声,扑通!狠狠地摔在了地上,原来乐乐光顾着说话,没有留意地上有西瓜皮,一脚踩了上去。乐乐气愤极了,说道:是哪一个不文明的人,随手乱扔果皮的啊?
胖胖想起来自己乱扔香蕉皮被大象伯伯批评的事情,感到非常羞愧。它连忙捡起了地上的西瓜皮,扔进了垃圾桶里,心想:我一定不能做一个不文明的人,要象大象伯伯学习。
