籠中的鳥和蝙蝠
A bird was confined in a cage outside a window.She often sang at night when all other birds were asleep.
One night a bat came.He asked the bird why she was silent by day and sang only at night.
The bird answered,"Last year when I was singing in the daytime,a bird catcher heard my voice and caught me in his net.Since then I have never sung by day.''
The bat replied,"But it is useless to do this now that you have become a prisoner.'' Then he hlew away.
籠中的鳥和蝙蝠
一只鳥在一個窗戶外的籠子里面.當晚上其他鳥兒睡覺時,它經(jīng)常唱歌.
一天夜晚,一只蝙蝠飛到籠子邊.他問鳥兒：“你為什么白天一聲不吭,而在夜晚唱歌呢?”
鳥兒回答道：“去年的一天,當我在唱歌時,一個獵人聽到了我的聲音,然后把我裝到了他的籠子里.從那時開始,我就從來沒在白天唱過歌.”
蝙蝠回答道：“但是現(xiàn)在你沒有必要這么做,因為你已經(jīng)失去自由了.”然后,蝙蝠飛走了.
