The Horse and the Deer 马和鹿
Once upon a time ,a horse owned the grassland. One day ,a little deer who barged in the grassland wanted to enjoy grassland with the horse. The horse wad hostile to the deer and asked the man to punish the deer. The man answered that he would help him drive away the deer, if the horse was willing to hold a tin in his mouth and let the man ride him. The horse consented to the mans demand. After this, the horse realized that he had become a slave before he retaliated upon the deer .
从前有一匹马独占一片草原。有一天,一只鹿闯入了他的领地,想与他分享草原。马对鹿的闯入十分仇视,一心想报复,便向人请求帮助惩罚鹿。人回答说,如果愿意把一块马口铁含在嘴里,并答应让人骑在马背上,他就拿出最有效的武器为马去驱逐鹿。马同意了人的要求,允许人骑在他身上。从这以后,马才知道,还没有对鹿进行报复,自己却成了人的奴隶。
This is to say, if you comply with others without any apprehension ,not only will you not realize your goal ,but also you will lose more .
这是说不假思索地答应别人提出的条件,往往不但达不到自己的目的,反而会失去更多。
