| 133. The Thieves And The Cock Some thieves broke into a house, and found nothing but a Cock, whom they stole, and got off as fast as they could. On arriving at home they proceeded to kill the Cock, who thus pleaded for his life: "Pray spare me; I am very serviceable to men. I wake th em up in the night to their work." "That is the very reason when you wake your neighbours,you entirely put an end to our business." The safeguards of virtue are hateful to the evil disposed. | 133. 贼和公鸡 有几个贼，偷偷潜入一栋房子里去，找不到什么东西，只看见一只公鸡，于是他们就偷了公鸡，赶快逃走。 他们到了家中，正要将公鸡杀死，公鸡却哀求讨饶说：「请饶了我吧；我对于人们是很有用的。 我在早晨，叫醒人们起来工作。」 他们回答说：「就是这个原因让我们要杀你。因为你一叫醒你附近的人时，便完全破坏我们的工作了。」 保障道德的人，是为恶徒所痛恨的。 |
