179. The Two Frogs

Two Frogs were neighbours. The one inhabited a deep pond, far removed from public view; the other lived in a gully containing little water, and traversed by a country road. He that lived in the pond warned his friend, and entreated him to change his residence, an
d to come and live with him, saying that he would enjoy greater safety from danger and more abundant food. The other refused, saying that he felt it so very hard to remove from a place to which he had become accustomed. A few days afterwards a heavy wagon passed through the gully, and crushed him to death under its wheels.

A willful man will have his way to his own hurt.
179. 两只蛙
两只毗邻而居的青蛙。 一只住在一个深水池中,不大容易被人看见;另外的一只则住在一条水沟里,这沟的水很少,并且旁边有一条路经过。 那只住在池里的青蛙,警告它的朋友,要它搬来和它同住,说它那里比较安全,也容易找到丰富的食物。 可是它拒绝了,认为要从一个它住惯了的地方搬到他处去,它觉得很难适应,。 过了几天之后,一辆笨重的货车经过那条水沟,却将它压死在轮下。
顽固的人,总因固执而害了自己。
