  1.鼬鼠和狮子

  有一次,一只鼬鼠和—头狮子相遇。

  鼬鼠向狮子挑战,要同它一决高低。狮子想也不想,就果断地拒绝了。 “怎么?”鼬鼠轻蔑地说, “你害怕了吗?”

  “非常害怕!”狮子说,“如果我就这么答应你,你就可以获得曾与狮子比武的殊荣。虽然,你可能会死;但我呢,以后所有大动物、小动物都会来耻笑我,耻笑我竟然和弱小的鼬鼠打架,弄得自己无地自容。那不是一件可笑的事吗?”说完,它头也不回地向树林深处走去。

  你认为强大的狮子应该接受鼬鼠的挑战吗?我觉得狮子的选择是明智的。

  如果狮子接受挑战,它一定会赢,但这只不过是短暂而无意义的快乐,不久便会满城风雨,所有动物都会反感狮子,都会耻笑它,事情将会弄得—发不可收拾。俗话说:“泼出去的水收不回来。”狮子如果落到这地步,到那时,就后悔莫及了。

  如果拒绝,一切风平浪静。狮子还是森林之王,还是像原来一样威风凛凛。

  就像人一样,如果与—个实力与自己不是同一等级的人争执不休,就会浪费许多的资源,如口舌、精力。这还是小事,最重要的是浪费时间。同样的,一个人对琐事的兴趣越大,对大事的兴趣就会越小。曾经有位哲人说过: “明智的艺术就是清醒地知道该忽略什么的艺术。”不要把精力过多地放在不重要的事和人上,因为成功的秘诀就是抓住既定的目标不放。

  2.井底之蛙

  The Frog in the Shallow Well

  Have you not heard of the frog that lived in a shallow well? It said to a turtle that lived in the East Sea, "I am so happy! When I go out, I jump about on the railing beside the mouth of the well. When I come home, I rest in the holes on the broken wall of the well. If I jump into the water, it comes up to my armpits and holds up my cheeks. If I walk in the mud, it covers up my feet. I look around at the wriggly worms, crabs and tadpoles, and none of them can compare with me. Moreover, I am lord of this trough of water and I stand up tall in this shallow well. My happiness is full. My dear sir, why don't you come often and look around my place?"
