The vixen and the lioness雌狐与母狮
一天清早,雌狐狸带着她的孩子走出巢穴,看见了母狮子和她的孩子。
"Why do you have only one child, dear dame?" asked the vixen. "Look at my healthy and numerous children here, and imagine, if you are able, how a proud mother should feel."
“为什么你只有一个孩子,夫人?”雌狐狸问,“看我这群健康的孩子,如果有能力,一个骄傲的妈妈应该多养一些孩子。”
The lioness said calmly, "Yes, just look at that beautiful collection. What are they? Foxes! I've only one, but remember, that one is a lion."
母狮平静地说:“是呀,看看这漂亮的一大群,他们都是狐狸!我只有一个,可他毕竟是一头狮子。”
寓意:
贵重的价值在于质,而不在于量。
