英語寓言故事:The Cock and the Jewel公雞和寶玉
來源:育路高考網(wǎng)發(fā)布時間:2012-08-02
A COCK, scratching for food for himself and his hens, found a precious stone and exclaimed: "If your owner had found thee, and not I, he would have taken thee up, and have set thee in thy first estate; but I have found thee for no purpose. I would rather have one barleycorn than all the jewels in the world."
一只公雞在田野里為自己和母雞們尋找食物。他發(fā)現(xiàn)了一塊寶玉,便對寶玉說:“若不 是我,而是你的主人找到了你,他會非常珍惜地把你撿起來;但我發(fā)現(xiàn)了你卻毫無用處。我 與其得到世界上一切寶玉,倒不如得到一顆麥子好。”
這是說自己需要的東西才是真正珍貴的。
