伊索寓言:赫耳墨斯神像与木匠

阅读 :

  The Image of Mercury and the Carpenter

  A VERY POOR MAN, a Carpenter by trade, had a wooden image of Mercury, before which he made offerings day by day, and begged the idol to make him rich, but in spite of his entreaties he became poorer and poorer. At last, being very angry, he took his image down from its pedestal and dashed it against the wall. When its head was knocked off, out came a stream of gold, which the Carpenter quickly picked up and said, "Well, I think thou art altogether contradictory and unreasonable; for when I paid you honor, I reaped no benefits: but now that I maltreat you I am loaded with an abundance of riches."

  赫耳墨斯神像与木匠

  一个很贫穷的木匠供奉着一个木雕的财神赫耳墨斯神像,请求发财。尽管他不断的祈求,日子却愈来愈穷。最后,一气之下他将神像从祭台上拿下来朝墙头摔去。神像的头被摔断下来,一道金泉一涌而出,木匠连忙拾起神像,并说:「我想你简直是无理得使我无所适从。尊敬你,供奉你,却得不到好处;对你不好,倒使我发了横财。」

  这个故事带出的启示就是:有些人敬酒不吃吃罚酒,对这样的人只有取强硬的对策。
