          A HEAVY WAGON was being dragged along a country lane by a team of Oxen.  The Axle-trees groaned and creaked terribly; whereupon the Oxen, turning round, thus addressed the wheels:  "Hullo there! why do you make so much noise? We bear all the labor, and we, not you, ought to cry out." 


          Those who suffer most cry out the least.


          几头公牛正使劲拉着货车行走,车轴被压得发出吱吱的响声,牛回过头,不耐烦地对车轴说道:“喂,朋友,我们无声无息负担着全部重量,你叫唤什么?”


          这故事是说,那些叫唤得特别响的人往往干活少,而那些不作声的人往往承担着全部重量。
