The Way to Chase Away Chickens
(Originally in English)
A man had a beautiful garden and flower beds, and all kinds of nice things that he planted in his garden. But there was one problem.
His neighbor always let his chickens loose, and they ran over to reach the garden to dig out the roots and eat the flowers and make a mess everywhere. And he told his neighbor to keep the hens within his fence. But the neighbor said, "I don't believe in this kind of restriction,imprisonment. I believe chickens are also the creation of God, and they have the right to go wherever they want." And so he just let his chickens run all over. And the chickens loved the flowers and the corn and all the things that the neighbor planted. And so they would visit his garden often. But then one day one of his friends came back, and saw that the man had
all the flowers and everything that he planted still in order! So the friend was very surprised: "How did you do that? How did you convince the neighbor to keep the chickens out of your yard?" He said, "Oh, that's easy. I just hid a dozen eggs in my flower bed, and one day I let my neighbor see that I was collecting them."
After that the neighbor kept his chickens to himself.
趕雞之道
有個(gè)人有一座漂亮的花園,里面種了各式各樣的奇花異草,不過,有個(gè)問題,就是他的鄰居總是放任他養(yǎng)的雞到處亂跑,闖進(jìn)花園里,把植物的根挖起來,吃掉花園里的花,搞得亂七八糟。他請(qǐng)鄰居把雞關(guān)好,可是那位鄰居卻說:「我才不想把雞像犯人一樣關(guān)起來呢!它們也是上帝創(chuàng)造的,有自由行動(dòng)的權(quán)利。」所以那位鄰居就任憑它們跑來跑去,而那些雞喜歡吃園里種的花草谷物,所以就常常過去光顧。
有一天,這個(gè)人的朋友來找他,發(fā)現(xiàn)整個(gè)花園井然有序,花草樹木都很茂盛,就很驚訝地問他:「你是怎么說服鄰居把雞關(guān)起來的?」他回答說:「哦!太簡單了!我先在花園里藏了一些雞蛋,然后故意讓我的鄰居看到我在撿蛋,從此以后他就嚴(yán)加看管他的雞了?!?BR>
