THE BLIND MAN AND THE CUB
There was once a Blind Man who had so fine a sense of touch that, when any animal was put into his hands, he could tell what it was merely by the feel of it. One day the Cub of a Wolf was put into his hands, and he was asked what it was. He felt it for some time, and then said, “Indeed, I am not sure whether it is a Wolf's Cub or a Fox's: but this I know—it would never do to trust it in a sheepfold.”
Evil tendencies are early shown.
盲人和狼崽
有一个盲人,他的触觉十分灵敏,任何动物只要放到他手里,他摸一摸,就能知道那是什么。有一天,有人将一只狼崽放到了他手里,问他那是什么。他考虑了一下,才说:“我的确不太肯定这是狼崽还是狐狸崽子,但是我知道,这东西绝对不能放到羊圈里。”
训诫:防微杜渐,将危险扼杀于萌芽中。
