伊索寓言：小偷与公鸡
The Thieves and the Cock
SOME THIEVES broke into a house and found nothing but a Cock， whom they stole， and got off as fast as they could. Upon arriving at home they prepared to kill the Cock， who thus pleaded for his life： “Pray spare me； I am very serviceable to men. I wake them up in the night to their work.” “That is the very reason why we must the more kill you，” they replied； “for when you wake your neighbors， you entirely put an end to our business.”
The safeguards of virtue are hateful to those with evil intentions.
小偷与公鸡
几个小偷悄悄地溜进一户人家里，甚么也没偷到，仅发现一只公鸡，便抓住他偷走了。当小偷们要杀公鸡时，公鸡请求放了他，并说他对人们是有益处的，每天天不亮时，他就把人们叫醒起来去工作。小偷们回答说：「单凭这一点，非要你死不可，你把人们都叫醒就妨碍了我们偷盗。」
这个故事带出的启示就是：那些对於好人有益的事正是对於坏人有害的。
