SOME BOYS, playing near a pond, saw a number of Frogs in the water and began to pelt them with stones.  They killed several of them, when one of the Frogs, lifting his head out of the water, cried out:  "Pray stop, my boys:  what is sport to you, is death to us."

    几个孩子在水潭边玩耍，看见水中有许多青蛙，便用石头去打他们。几只青蛙被他们打死了。这时，一只青蛙从水中伸出头来说：“孩子们，请你们不要再打了。这对于你们来说是在做游戏，而对于我们却有性命之忧啊。”

    这是说，不要把自己的快乐建筑在别人的痛苦上。
