59. The Boy And The Nettles A Boy was stung by a Nettle. He ran home and told his mother, saying, "Although it pains me so much, I did but touch it ever so gently." "That was just it," said his mother, "which caused it to sting you. The next time you touch a Nettle, grasp it boldly, and it will be as soft as silk to your hand, and not in the least hurt you." Whatever you do, do with all your might. | 59. 小孩和苎麻 一个小孩被苎麻所刺。 他跑回家里,告诉他的母亲说:「我只轻轻地碰了它一下,它就刺得我很痛呢。」 他的母亲说:「正因为这样,才会被它将你刺痛了。 下次如果你再去和苎麻接触,勇敢地将它一把握住,它就会柔软得和丝一样,在你手中,决不会伤害你的。」 无论你做什么,都得尽力地去做。 |
