伊索寓言:宙斯和猴子

阅读 :

  Jupiter and the Monkey

  JUPITER ISSUED a proclamation to all the beasts of the forest and promised a royal reward to the one whose offspring should be deemed the handsomest. The Monkey came with the rest and presented, with all a mother's tenderness, a flat-nosed, hairless, ill-featured young Monkey as a candidate for the promised reward. A general laugh saluted her on the presentation of her son. She resolutely said, "I know not whether Jupiter will allot the prize to my son, but this I do know, that he is at least in the eyes of me his mother, the dearest, handsomest, and most beautiful of all."

  宙斯和猴子

  宙斯通知林中所有野兽,许诺给评选出来的拥有最漂亮孩子的野兽发奖。猴子与其他野兽一起来到宙斯那里,她以慈祥的母爱,带着一只扁鼻无毛、相貌丑陋的小猴子,前来参加评奖。当她把小猴子带给大家看时,引得一阵哄堂大笑。但她坚定地说:「我不知道宙斯会不会将奖品给我儿子。但至少有一点我十分清楚,在他母亲眼里,这小猴子是最可爱的、最漂亮的、最活泼的。」

  这个故事带出的启示就是:不管孩子漂亮还是丑陋,优秀还是平庸,在母亲眼中总是最好的。
