盲人和狼崽
The Blind Man and the Whelp
有个盲人,有一项特殊的本领:无论什么动物放在他手里,他只要摸一下就能辨认出来。一天,有人把一只小狼崽交到他手上。他摸了一下,有些犹豫,说道:“我不敢肯定他是一只小狼还是小狐狸,但是有一点我很明确,那就是千万不可把他放进羊群中。”
邪恶的天性在幼年时期就会显现。
A Blind Man was accustomed to distinguishing different animals by touching them with his hands. The whelp of a Wolf was brought him,with a request that he would feel it,and say what it was. He felt it,and being in doubt,said,“I do not quite know whether it is the cub of a fox,or the whelp of a wolf,but this I know full well. It would not be safe to admit him to the sheepfold.”
