The Donkey
When God created life he not only created man but also all kinds of animals including donkeys. However I do not know whether God despises donkey or god himself has too many things donkey unexpectedly only as big as a white mouse. It's hard for a donkey like this to attract attention. That's all but the donkey is the proudest creature in nature. The donkey was always eager to attract attention but for being so small he was afraid to go out of his house for fear that people would laugh at him. So the proud donkey hid in his house every day and prayed to God to grant him magic power so that he could grow up quickly.
"Good Lord! Please!" "I can hardly bear it " said the Donkey. "The leopards and lions and elephants are so big that all the animals in the forest are talking about them. But why are you so cruel to us donkeys? I was always so unimportant that I couldn't draw any attention to myself. Oh my god! If you could give me half the size of a calf I would have the power to make the leopard stop being proud and the lion stop boasting. Oh god please!
The next day the Donkey continued to pray to God. At last the donkey became impatient for he could not get an answer from God. Later the Lord learned of this and thought "Let him have a try to sober him up." So the donkey became a huge beast in the forest. However his strange voice always makes other animals uncomfortable and even gives them goose bumps.
"Ah! What the hell is that? He seems so verbose and jealous. He's a nasty fellow."
In the end the donkey was still a source of conversation. After a year the animals all read the donkey's mind. In the end stupidity gradually became synonymous with donkey.
Jealousy is not to be it will only go to your head other people to talk about after dinner.
驴子
上帝创造生命的时候,不仅创造了人类,还有各种各样的动物,其中就有驴子。可是,不知道是上帝轻视驴子还是上帝本身事情太多,驴子竟然只有白鼠那样大。这副模样的驴子自然很难引起其他人的注意了。这样也就罢了,可是偏偏驴子又是大自然中最高傲的动物。驴子总是渴望自己能够引起他人的注意,但是就它这样的小个头,它平常都不敢出门去,总是担心大家嘲笑它。所以,生性高傲的驴子每天都躲在家里向上帝祷告,希望上帝能赐予它法力 能让它快点长大。
“上帝啊!求求您了!” 驴子说,“我都快要受不了了,那些豹子、狮子、大象,生得是那样的魁梧,森林里大大小小的动物都在议论着它们。可是,您为什么偏偏对我们驴子这么冷酷呢!我总是不受人重视,一点也不能引起他人的注意。上帝啊!如果您能让我有牛犊一半的体格,我就有本领使得豹子不再自大、狮子不再自夸。上帝啊,求求您了!
第二天,驴子继续向上帝祷告。由于每次都得不到上帝的回答,驴子最后也开始不耐烦了。后来,上帝知道了这件事,就想:“还是让它尝试一下吧,也好让它清醒清醒。” 于是,驴子变成了森林中的庞然大物。可是,它那怪声怪气的嗓音总是让其他动物感到不舒服,甚至会起一身的鸡皮疙瘩。
“哎!那是个什么东西啊?看起来啰里啰唆的,而且嫉妒心还那么强,真是个惹人讨厌的家伙。”
最后呢,驴子仍然成了人们茶余饭后的谈资。一年之后,小动物们都把驴子的心思看透了。到最后,愚蠢就渐渐地成了驴子的代名词。
忌妒心是要不得的,它只会冲昏你的头脑,成为他人茶余饭后的谈资。
