伊索寓言：女主人与侍女们
The Widow and Her Little Maidens
A WIDOW who was fond of cleaning had two little maidens to wait on her. She was in the habit of waking them early in the morning， at cockcrow. The maidens， aggravated by such excessive labor， resolved to kill the cock who roused their mistress so early. When they had done this， they found that they had only prepared for themselves greater troubles， for their mistress， no longer hearing the hour from the cock， woke them up to their work in the middle of the night.
女主人与侍女们
有个女主人很勤劳，她雇了几名侍女。夜里每当公鸡一打鸣，她就叫她们起来去干活。侍女们每天日夜劳作，累得精疲力尽，她们十分痛恨那只公鸡，决定要弄死它，她们以为是那公鸡不到天亮叫醒女主人，才使她们受苦受难。然而在她们把公鸡弄死之后，反而比以前更为不幸。那女主人不知道鸡叫的时间，总是在黑夜里更早地把她们叫起来去干活。
这个故事带出的启示就是：许多人的不幸往往是自己造成的。
