　　The Fawn and His Father

　　A young fawn once said to his Father, "You are larger than a

　　dog, and swifter, and more used to running, and you have your

　　horns as a defense; why, then, O Father! do the hounds frighten

　　you so?"

　　He smiled, and said: "I know full well, my son, that all you say

　　is true. I have the advantages you mention, but when I hear even

　　the bark of a single dog I feel ready to faint, and fly away as

　　fast as I can."

　　譯 文

　　小鹿與他的父親

　　有一天，小鹿對(duì)公鹿說(shuō)道，“父親，你怎么還怕狗呢?你比他高大，比他跑得更快，而 且還有很大的角用于自衛(wèi)。”

　　公鹿笑著說(shuō)：“孩兒，你說(shuō)得都對(duì)，可我只知道一點(diǎn)，一聽(tīng)到狗的叫聲，我就會(huì)不由自主地立刻逃跑。”

　　寓 意

　　激勵(lì)那些天生膽小、軟弱的人毫無(wú)用處。

　　No arguments will give courage to the coward.
