伊索寓言:口渴的乌鸦

阅读 :

  The Crow and the Pitcher

  A Crow, half-dead with thirst, came upon a Pitcher which had once been full of water; but when the Crow put its beak into the mouth of the Pitcher he found that only very little water was left in it, and that he could not reach far enough down to get at it. He tried, and he tried, but at last had to give up in despair. Then a thought came to him, and he took a pebble and dropped it into the Pitcher. Then he took another pebble and dropped it into the Pitcher. Then he took another pebble and dropped that into the Pitcher. Then he took another pebble and dropped that into the Pitcher. Then he took another pebble and dropped that into the Pitcher. Then he took another pebble and dropped that into the Pitcher. At last, at last, he saw the water mount up near him, and after casting in a few more pebbles he was able to quench his thirst and save his life.

  Little by little does the trick.

  口渴的乌鸦

  乌鸦口渴得要命,飞到一只大水罐旁,水罐里没有很多水,他想尽了办法,仍喝不到。於是,他就使出全身力气去推,想把罐推倒,倒出水来,而大水罐却推也推不动。这时,乌鸦想起了他曾经使用的办法,用口叼着石子投到水罐里,随着石子的增多,罐里的水也就逐渐地升高了。最后,乌鸦高兴地喝到了水,解了口渴。

  这个故事带出的启示就是:智慧往往胜过力气。
