伊索寓言：蘆葦與橡樹

　　The Tree and the Reed

　　“Well， little one，” said a Tree to a Reed that was growing at its foot， “why do you not plant your feet deeply in the ground， and raise your head boldly in the air as I do？”

　　“I am contented with my lot，” said the Reed. “I may not be so grand， but I think I am safer.”

　　“Safe！” sneered the Tree. “Who shall pluck me up by the roots or bow my head to the ground？” But it soon had to repent of its boasting， for a hurricane arose which tore it up from its roots， and cast it a useless log on the ground， while the little Reed， bending to the force of the wind， soon stood upright again when the storm had passed over.

　　Obscurity often brings safety.

　　蘆葦與橡樹

　　蘆葦與橡樹為他們的耐力、力量和冷靜爭吵不休，誰也不肯認(rèn)輸。橡樹指責(zé)蘆葦說他沒有力量，無論哪方的風(fēng)都能輕易地把它吹倒，蘆葦沒有回答。過了一會兒，一陣猛烈的強(qiáng)風(fēng)吹了過來，蘆葦彎下腰，順風(fēng)仰倒，
