伊索寓言：燕子與鳥類

　　The Swallow and the Other Birds

　　It happened that a Countryman was sowing some hemp seeds in a field where a Swallow and some other birds were hopping about picking up their food. “Beware of that man，” quoth the Swallow. “Why， what is he doing？” said the others. “That is hemp seed he is sowing； be careful to pick up every one of the seeds， or else you will repent it.” The birds paid no heed to the Swallow's words， and by and by the hemp grew up and was made into cord， and of the cords nets were made， and many a bird that had despised the Swallow's advice was caught in nets made out of that very hemp. “What did I tell you？” said the Swallow.

　　Destroy the seed of evil， or it will grow up to your ruin.

　　燕子與鳥類

　　從前，有一種能產生粘鳥膠的樹，當這種樹剛發芽時，燕子預感到鳥類將大難臨頭。於是，她召集鳥類，勸說他們一定要把所有這種樹弄死。如果做不到，就馬上飛到人那里去，向他們求助，請求他們不要用粘鳥膠來捕捉鳥類。所有的鳥都取笑燕子，認為她是說傻話。燕子無奈便獨自飛到人那里，請求保護。人們認為她聰明、機智、善良，便答應了她的請求，允許她和人們住在一起。結果，別的鳥類都常被人捕捉，成為人們的美食。唯獨燕子
