253. The Gnat And The Bull A Gnat settled on the horn of a Bull, and sat there a long time. Just as he was about to fly off, he made a buzzing noise, and inquired of the Bull if he would like him to go. The Bull replied, "I did not know you had come, and I shall not miss you when you go away." Some men are of more consequence in their own eyes than in the eyes of their neighbours. | 253. 蚊子和牛 一只蚊子停在一头牛的角上,在那里停驻了好久。 恰好在它正要飞走的时候,它发出嗡嗡叫声,问牛说是否喜欢它离开。 牛回答说:「我不知道你来,所以你离开时,我也不会依依不舍。」 有些人在他们自己的眼中看来,比在他们的邻人眼中看来,要来的重要一些。 |
