The Shepherd And The Lion
牧羊人和狮子
by Aesop
出自《伊索寓言》
A Shepherd，老舍简介及作品简介，counting his Sheep one day，discovered that a number of them were missing.
有一天，正在清点羊数的时候，牧羊人发现丢了一些羊。
When I was young, people around me of the told me the story “The Shepherd’s Boy and the Wolf “ in order to educate me to be an honest person. At that age, in my opinion, it was just a story written by。
十分恼恨的他，大声地吹嘘说，他一定要逮住偷羊贼，并如数惩处。
牧羊人怀疑是这是狼干的，于是就朝着一片山石交错狼群出没的丘陵地带走去。
But before starting out he made a vow to Jupiter that if he would help him find the thief he would offer a fat Calf as a sacrifice.
不过，在他临行前，他向丘比特发誓，要是丘比特能帮忙找到偷羊贼，他愿意献上一头肥壮的小牛。
The Shepherd searched a long time without finding any Wolves，but just as he was passing near a large cave on the mountain side，a huge Lion stalked out，carrying a Sheep. In great terror the Shepherd fell on his knees.
"Alas，O Jupiter，man does not know what he asks! To find the thief I offered to sacrifice a fat Calf. Now I promise you a full-grown Bull，if you but make the thief go away!"
“啊！伟大的丘比特啊！我对自己的要求一无所知！为了找到偷羊贼，我曾发誓献上一头肥壮的小牛。现在，我发誓，要是您能让这偷羊贼（狮子）走开的话，我保证献上一头成年公牛！”
寓意1：得到之后，便不再珍惜。（直译为：我们常常在找到自己所追求的食物后，便不再那么渴望了。）
寓意2：不要盲目许愿，因为（这些愿望被准许的话）可能会招致灾难。
