39. The Goat And The Goatherd

A Goatherd had sought to bring back
a stray goat to his flock. He whistled and sounded his horn in vain; the straggler paid no attention to the summons. At last the Goatherd threw a stone, and breaking its horn besought the Goat not to tell his master. The Goat replied, "Why, you silly fellow, the horn will speak though I be silent."

Do not attempt to hide things which cannot be hidden.
39. 山羊和牧羊人
一个牧羊人,想尽办法唤回一只迷路的山羊。 他吹着他的号角,却得不到效果;那迷路的山羊并没有注意他的呼唤。 后来牧羊人丢过来一块石头,不小心打断了那头山羊的角,便央求山羊不要告诉它的主人。 山羊回答说:「呀!你这傻瓜,我虽然不出声,我的角自然会说出来呀。」
不要设法隐瞒不可能隐藏的事。
