《青蛙和老鼠》的寓言故事告诉我们,阴谋策划得再好,也可能损害阴谋策划人自己,而且,背信弃义的行为经常是坑了自己。竞争是有规律的,当我们采取了不正当的手段去对付竞争对手的时候,也许我们自己已经踏入失败的门槛。
伊索寓言故事:The Frog and the Mouse 青蛙和老鼠
One day a Mouse goes to play at a nearby pond. There he meets a Frog. They start playing together and become instant friends.
Frog: We are best friends, arent we, Mouse?
Mouse: Of course, we are. Why do you ask?
Frog: Well then, lets always be together.
Mouse: How can we do that?
Frog: I have an idea. Lets tie our legs together with a string. Then we can go everywhere together. How about it? Dont you think itll be fun?
Mouse: Wow! Thats an interesting idea. But it might be dangerous.
Frog: How come?
Mouse: Someone might get hurt.
Frog: You worry too much. No one will get hurt. Itll be fun. Lets try it.
Mouse: Okay. If you insist.
The Frog and the Mouse tie their legs together. They go everywhere together and do everything together.
Mouse: Im hungry. Lets go to the corn field. I want to eat some corn.
Frog: Fine. Lets go, but dont run. Its hard to follow you.
Mouse: Oh, Im sorry. I didnt know.
The Frog watches while the Mouse eats.
Mouse: Hey Frog, what shall we do next?
Frog: I dont know. Let me think. What can we do? Hmm Ah ha! Ive got it!
Mouse: What is it?
Frog: Lets play at my house.
Mouse: Where is your house?
Frog: Its right over there.
Mouse: I cant go there.
Frog: Why not?
Mouse: Because its underwater. I cant breathe underwater. I cant even swim well.
Frog: Oh, I didnt know. Then Ill teach you. Just hold on to me. You wont drown. Besides, your legs are tied to mine.
Mouse: Will it be safe?
Frog: Of course, itll be safe.
Mouse: Are you sure?
Frog: Come on. Just follow me.
Mouse: Dont jump in!!!
The Frog doesnt listen to the Mouse. He just jumps into the pond. The Mouse drinks a lot of water.
Mouse: I told you not to jump in!
Frog: Im sorry. I didnt hear you. Are you okay?
Mouse: Yes, but next time be careful.
Frog: All right. Now lets swim to my house. Just hold on to me.
Mouse: Hey, this is fun. I like swimming.
Frog: I told you.
The Frog and the Mouse swim for a while.
Mouse:Im tire now. I want to go out.
Frog: Come on, Mouse. Lets swim a little more. Im not tired. Im having fun.
Mouse: Its getting late. I dont want to swim anymore.
The Frog and the Mouse fight. The frog gets mad and does as he pleases.
Frog: I dont want to be your friend anymore. You can go if you want.
Mouse: But how can I? My legs are tied to yours.
Frog: Thats too bad!
The Frog just jumps into the water again. This time he doesnt come out for a long time.
Frog: Hey, Mouse, are you okay? There is no answer.
Frog: I guess hes dead. Too bad. Ill just keep swimming.
The Frog doesnt care about the dead Mouse. He just continues to swim underwater. Then a Hawk flies by.
Hawk: Ha, ha, ha. Look down there! Theres a dead Mouse. I must eat it for dinner.
The Hawk comes down fast. It snatches the Mouse and goes up again.
Frog: Hey, what happened! Im flying!
The Frog looks up and sees the Hawk.
Frog: Im not a Mouse! Let me go!
Hawk: Oh, I didnt know you were there. What luck! Now I can eat a Mouse and a Frog for dinner.
Frog: No! No! Please, let me go!
The Frog tries to untie the string but fails. The Hawk eats both of them.

If you harm others, you will also be harmed.
