The Old Woman and the Wine-Jar
老太婆和酒瓶


　　AN OLD WOMAN found an empty jar which had lately been full of prime old wine and which still retained the fragrant smell of its former contents. She greedily placed it several times to her nose, and drawing it backwards and forwards said, "O most delicious! How nice must the Wine itself have been, when it leaves behind in the very vessel which contained it so sweet a perfume!"
　　The memory of a good deed lives.
　　
　　一个老太婆找到一个不久前曾装过最好陈酒的空酒瓶。这酒瓶仍带着浓浓的酒香，她多次把酒瓶放在鼻尖下，不断摇晃，贪婪地吮吸酒香，并说：「啊，多么甜美！装过酒的空瓶都留下这样甘美难忘的香味，那酒真不知有多么美味芬香。」
　　这个故事带出的启示就是：美好的事物留下深远的影响，使人们永远难以忘记。
