114. The Two Travellers And The Axe

Two men were journeying togeth
er in each other's company. One of them picked up an axe that lay upon the path, and said, "I have found an axe." "Nay, my friend," replied the other, "do not say I,' but We' have found an axe." They
had not gone far before they saw the owner of the axe pursuing them, when he who had picked up the axe, said, "We are undone." "Nay," replied the other, "keep to your first mode of speech, my friend; what you thought right then, think r
ight now. Say I,' not We' are undone."

He who shares the danger ought to share the prize.
114. 两个旅人和斧头
两个人结伴旅行。 其中有一个人,从路旁拾起一把斧头说:「我找到了一把斧头。」 另外一个人回答说:「朋友,不要说『我』,而要说『我们』找到一把斧头。」 他们走得没有多远,便看见那把斧头的主人在追赶他们,这时拾起斧头的人说:「我们完蛋了。」 另外那个人便回答说:「不对!用你最初的说法吧;你刚才怎样说,现在也应该怎样说啊。 你要说『我』,不用说『我们』完蛋了。」
有福同享,有难也应同当。
