The Crab and the Fox 螃蟹和狐狸
分类: 英语故事
A crab once left the sea-shore and went and settled in a meadow some way inland, which looked very nice and green and seemed likely to be a good place to feed in. But a hungry fox came along and spied the crab and caught him. Just as he was going to be eaten up, the crab said, "This is just what I deserve, for I had no business to leave my natural home by the sea and settle here as though I belonged to the land."
Be content with your lot.
有一次,一只螃蟹离开海边,定居在内陆的一块草地上,那里看着很美,有青青的绿草,是个养分充足的好地方。然而,一只饥饿的狐狸走过来,看见螃蟹并捉住了他。就在狐狸将要吃掉他之前,螃蟹说:“我真是活该,我没有理由要离开海边那个天然的家,像陆地栖息的动物一样,偏要到这里来定居。”
知足才能常乐。
