| 226. The Game-Cocks And The Partridge A Man had two Game-cocks in his poultry-yard. One day by chance he fell in with a tame Partridge for sale. He purchased it, and brought it home that it might be reared with his Game-cocks. On its being put into the poultry-y ard they struck at it, and followed it about, so that the Partridge was grievously troubled in mind, and supposed that he was thus evilly treated because he was a stranger. Not long afterwards he saw the Cocks fighting together, and no t separating before one had well beaten the other. He then said to himself, "I shall no longer distress myself at being struck at by these Game-cocks, when I see that they cannot even refrain from quarrelling with each other." | 226. 斗鸡和鹧鸪 有个人有两只斗鸡，养在家禽场里。 有一天他偶然看见一只已被驯服的鹧鸪出售，。 他就将它买下来，带回家里，那样它就可以和斗鸡一起饲养。 当它一被放进家禽场里去，它们便打它和追赶着它。因此鹧鸪十分忧愁，以为它之所以这样被欺侮，是因为它是陌生者的缘故。 不久它看见那两只斗鸡互相在打架，而且非将对方打得大败决不停止。 于是自言自语说：「我再也不会因为受这两只斗鸡欺侮而自苦了，我现在才知道，它们是无法禁止互相争斗的。」 |
