故事原文

Simon went to the market to buy an ass. He saw a likely one, but he wanted to test him first. So he took the ass home, and put him into the stable with the other asses. The new ass looked around, and immediately went to choose a place next to the laziest ass in the stable. When Simon saw this he put a halter on the ass at once, and gave him back to his owner. The owner felt quite surprised. He asked Simon, “Why are you back so soon? Have you tested him already?” “I don't want to test him any more,” said Simon. “From the friend he chose for himself, I could see what sort of animal he is.”

参考译文

西蒙去市场上买驴子。他看好了一头驴想要先试试，于是他把驴牵回了家，把他和其他的驴子一起关在马厩里。新来的驴子四处看了看，立即在最懒的驴子旁边找到了位置。西蒙看到这个情况马上就给他套上缰绳，把他退给了卖主。卖主很诧异，他问西蒙：“为什么你这么快就回来了？你已经试过了吗？” “我不想再试了，”西蒙说，“看他给自己选的朋友，我就知道他是什么货色了。”
