The Lark Burying Its Father The Lark (according to an ancie nt legend) was created before the earth itself, and when her father died by a fell disease, as there was no earth, she could find for him no place of burial. She let him lie uninterred for five days, and on the sixth day, being in perp lexity, she buried him in her own head. Hence she obtained her crest, which is popularly said to be her father's grave-hillock. Youth's first duty is reverence to parents. | 252. 百灵鸟葬父亲 据以前的传说，百灵鸟是生于地球未形成之前的；它父亲死于一场恶病，那时因为没有地球，它找不到地方做坟墓。 它就停丧五天，直到第六天，它心中慌乱，就将父亲葬在它自己的头里。 因此，它就得到它的冠毛，大家都说这是它父亲的坟。 年轻人第一项责任，就是孝敬父母。 |
