捉蝗蟲的男孩 The Boy Hunting Locusts

     A BOY was hunting for locusts.  He had caught a goodly number, when he saw a Scorpion, and mistaking him for a locust, reached out his hand to take him.  The Scorpion, showing his sting, said: If you had but touched me, my friend, you would have lost me, and all your locusts too!"

     有個(gè)小孩在城墻前捉蚱蜢，一會(huì)兒就捉了許多。忽然看見一只蝎子，他以為也是蚱蜢， 便著兩手去捕捉他。蝎子舉起他的毒刺，說(shuō)道：“來(lái)吧，如果你真敢這樣做，就連你捉的蚱蜢也會(huì)統(tǒng)統(tǒng)失掉。”

     這故事告誡人們，要分辨清好人和壞人，區(qū)別對(duì)待他們
