43. The Boy And The Filberts

A Boy put his hand into a pitcher ful
l of filberts. He grasped as many as he could possibly hold, but when he endeavored to pull out his hand, he was prevented from doing so by the neck of the pitcher. Unwilling to lose his filberts, and yet unable to wit
hdraw his hand, he burst into tears, and bitterly lamented his disappointment. A bystander said to him, "Be satisfied with half the quantity and you will readily draw out your hand."

Do not attemp
t too much at once.
43. 男孩和栗子
一个小男孩伸手到一个装满栗子的瓶中去。 他尽其所能地抓了许多,但是他想伸出手来时,他的手被瓶子的瓶口卡住了。 然而他又不愿放下栗子,但又不能让手出来,只好痛哭流泪,非常伤心。 一个旁人对他说:「你知足些吧,只拿一半,你的手很容易就可以伸出来了。」

一次勿求太多。
