oneday，adonkey was carrying abundle ofwood and he fell into the river．
有一天，一只驴子驮着木材，一路向前走着。
he struggled to come out fromthewaterbutinvain．thedonkeymoanedandcried for help．
当他经过一个池塘时，一不小心，摔进了池塘里，辗辗转转却总是无法爬上岸来。驴子便唉声叹气地高呼救命。
some frogs in the water heard the cries．they came to the douke and said，“you only farll into the river once and you make such a fuss,how about us who stay in the water for such a iongfirne?how pitiful would that be?“
住在池里的青蛙听见了驴子的呼救声，成群出来围观。 青蛙对驴子讥讽说：“你只不过是摔了一跤，跌进池塘里，就这样大嚷大叫，高喊救命，如果你像我们一样长期居住在这里，你又会痛苦成什么样子呢?”
故事哲理：
do not condemn people sho are not used to your own lifestyle.
青蛙嘲笑驴子的哀泣是不对的，因为青蛙本来就是水陆二栖，水里正是它们的乐园啊!
每个人所处的环境不一样，先天和后天条件也不同，对失败、尴尬、痛苦的忍受能力自然也各有差异，因此我们应该多设身处地为别人着想。
偷懒的驴故事
从前有一个商人，他养了一头驴。他赶着驴走乡串村，做各种买卖。这个商人有时贩卖布匹、珠子，有时贩卖水果和新鲜蔬菜。实际上只要能赚点钱的东西，他都卖。
有一天，他听说海边的盐很便宜。他想：“我可以贩盐到山里的村子去卖好价钱。”他带上驴子去买盐。
盐果然很便宜，商人买了许多盐，驮在驴背上。一路都很顺利，他们来到山间，经过一道狭窄的石桥，桥下有条很深的小溪流过。商人牵着驴，在滑溜的石桥上小心翼翼地走着，驴子忽然滑倒，一下子跌进小溪。
驴挣扎着逆水而游，溪水把它驮的盐溶化了，冲走了，只有几条空口袋还系在鞍上。驴身上没有了重东西，很容易就上了岸，轻松愉快地继续赶路。
过了不久，商人决定再去贩一次盐，他带着驴到海边去，让驴驮上盐往山里走。一到那座狭窄的石桥，驴就想起它曾多么轻易地甩掉重担，不驮东西走路是多么舒服。这一回它故意跌进溪里去，直到盐溶化得一干二净。
商人很懊恼，他损失了整整两驮盐，他怀疑驴子在跟他捣鬼。他想了个办法也来捉弄驴子。
下一回，商人来到海边，买了一大驮海绵。驴子高高兴兴地出发了。
驴子想：“这口袋真轻，一到了那座石桥就会更轻了。”不久，他们来到石桥。驴又滚到水里去，倒在那儿挣扎，等待驮的东西像上两次一样溶化掉。
海绵没有溶化掉，却很快吸满了水。驴感到背上的口袋越来越重，心想：“这是什么东西？”“不对劲儿呀！”后来，他觉得自己在溪里直往下沉，就大叫道：“救命呀！主人，救命呀！”
商人弯腰把这头喘着气、喷着白沫的驴从水里拉上岸。“我们回家吧，怎么样？”商人说着牵了湿漉漉的驴子向山腰走去。
驴子迈着沉重的步子向村里走去时难过地想：“这回动身，驮的东西重了一倍。”
点评：商人用海绵来巧妙地惩治了愉懒的`驴子，说明了不同的问题要用不同的办法来解决。在企业人力资源管理中，面对员工的“出勤不出力”，变法子偷懒的行为，虽然可以制定许许多多的管理制度来避免或制止这些不良行为，但是再完善的管理制度也不可能是“疏而不漏”、无懈可击的，总会有这样或那样的一些小漏洞，被一些别有用心的员工钻进去“乘大凉”，一旦发现新情况，管理者一定要及时出台“补丁程序”——为相关的管理制度制订补充规定，这样就能使管理制度起到奖勤罚懒、奖优罚劣的功效。
据说从前有一头驴和一匹马，因为生计的原因他们一同外出去找工作。途中他们遇到了一个农夫，于是都恳求农夫收留，不求报酬只求能解决温饱。农夫问驴会做些什么，驴答自己会拉磨会驼东西，也可以为农夫干农活。农夫又问马会做些什么，马回答说自己能奔驰千里，目标是云游四海。农夫心想自己正缺一个农场帮手，于是雇佣了驴，工作是专职拉磨，报酬是包吃包住。驴被聘用后，被农夫套了磨车，天天呆在磨坊机械式的拉磨，一日三餐，衣食无忧。而马却因为找不到适合自己的工作，天天露宿荒山野岭，没有衣食的保证，终日为食物奔波。
许多年后，他们都老了。驴因年迈加疲劳过度终于再也拉不动磨车了，最后农夫解聘了他，把他遗弃丛中。驴最终因逃不过群狼的追捕而成了他们的大餐。而马却因为天天在丛林中为食物奔波，为生命逃跑，练就成一身步如疾风的本领，在一次千里马选拔之中，被伯乐相中，成了群马之首。马退休后子孙满堂，过上了安详的晚年生活。
其实生活便如驴和马的故事，年轻时的安逸并不能带给我们财富。不要因为自己现在有一份稳定的工作而沾沾自喜，不求上进，否则你就如一头在磨坊中的驴，坐井观天，固步自封，一生劳碌命;也不要因为自己奔波在世界中，觉得自己碌碌无为，放弃追逐，自暴自弃。一粒土、一张纸都有它的有无之地，生活中的你都是主角，找准目标，该放手时就放手，该出手时便出手，放眼世界，练就一身的本领，拥有一技之长才是立足于社会之本。
A man bought a Donkey at the market one day and took him home on approval.
一天，有个人在集市上买了一头驴，把驴牵回家先试用一下。
Now the man owned several Donkeys already and he knew each one's character very well.
这人已经有好几头驴了，深知每头驴的习性。
One of the Donkey was very strong and brave. Another was eager to please but quickly exhausted.
有头驴又强壮、又勇敢；还有头驴急于讨人喜欢，可一会儿就累了；
One Donkey was very lazy. He hated going to work in the morning and he did as little as he possibly could all day long.
另有头驴非常懒，它不愿意一大早就去干活，一整天它都尽可能地少干点活，别的驴载东西时，
When the other animals were being loaded up he always tried to be the last so that he would get the lightest load.
它总是尽量排最后一个，这样载的东西就会最轻。
The man led the new Donkey into the stable yard. For a moment he stood sniffing at his new companions. Then, without hesitation, he trotted up to the lazy Donkey and began feeding comfortably at his side.
这个人把新买的驴牵进牲口棚的院子里。驴站了一会儿，闻了闻它的新伙伴们，然后，毫不犹豫地跑到懒驴跟前，在它旁边悠闲自得地吃起草来。
Though it was late in the day, the man immediately led the new Donkey out of the yard, straight back to the market.
天色已经很晚了，这个人还是马上把新买的驴牵出了院子，径直回到集市上。
”You cannot have given him a fair trial yet, “said the merchant. ”It is only ten minutes since you bought him.“
“你不可能已经好好试过了，”卖驴的人说，“你买了它才十几分钟。”
”I don't need to try him any more,“ replied the man. ”I know just what he is like from the friend he chose for himself.
“我不用再试了，”这个人回答道。“从它自己挑选的朋友，我就知道它是头什么样的驴了。
Take him away and give me my money back. I can do without Donkeys like him.“
把它牵走，把钱还给我。我没有这样的驴也能过日子。”
Once there lived a man among the hills, who possessed a statue wrought by an ancient master, at lay at his door face downward and he was not mindful of it.
从前，一个住在山里的人家有一座雕像，是古代的一位大师雕刻的。雕像脸朝下倒在门前，他根本没在意。
One day there passed by his house a man from the city, a man of knowledge, and seeing the statue he inquired of the owner if he would sell it.
一天，从城里来了一位学识渊博的人，在经过他家门前时，看见了雕像，便问主人愿不愿意将它卖掉。
The owner laughed and said, ”and pray who would want to buy that dull and dirty stone?“
主人笑着说：“请问是谁要买这块又脏又硬的石头呀？”
The man from the city said, “I will give you this piece of silver for it.” And the other man was astonished and delighted.
城里人说：“我愿意给你一块银元买下它。“
The statue was removed to the city, upon the back of an elephant.
山里人惊讶之余，不禁喜出望外
And after many months the man from the hills visited the city, and as he walked the streets he saw a crowd before a shop, and a man with a loud voice was crying, “
雕像被一头大象背到了城里。几个月后，山里人迸城，当他在大街上闲逛时，看见一群入围在一个小店前。有一个人大声吆喝道：
Come in and behold the most beautiful, the most wonderful statue in all the world. Only two silver pieces to look upon this most marvelous work of a master. ”
“进来吧，请进来欣赏全世界最漂亮、最神奇的雕像。只需花两块银元，就可以参观大师手下最不可思议的杰作。”
There upon the man from the hills paid two silver pieces and entered the shop to see the statue that he himself had sold for one piece of silver.
于是，山里人付了两块银元进店里参观，发现这个雕像正是他以一块银元卖掉的那个。
one day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. the animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.
有一天，农夫的驴掉进了井里。在农夫想办法的时候，可怜的驴叫了好几个小时。
finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn’t worth it to retrieve the donkey.
最后，农夫决定，驴已经老了，反正井也需要填平；把驴救出来不太值得了。
he invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. they all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well.
他请了所有的邻居来帮忙。他们都抄起铲子，开始往井里填土。
at first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly.
随后，驴意识到发生了什么事，便发出了令人胆战心惊的叫声。
then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down. a few shovel toads later the farmer finally looked down the well.
后来，令大家奇怪的是，驴安静了下来。又填了几铲土之后，农夫往井里看了看。
he was astonished at what he saw.with each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing.
他看到的情景让他惊讶不已。驴对砸在背上的每一铲土都做出了非凡之举
he would shake it off and take a step up.
他把土抖掉，然后往上走一步。
as the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up.
随着农夫的邻居们不断往驴身上铲土，驴把土抖掉，再往上走一步。
pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off.
很快，每个人都惊呆了——驴迈出了井口，欢快地跑了！
the donkey later came back and bit the shovel out of the farmer who had tried to bury him.
后来驴出来了，把铲子从想埋他的农夫手中咬了过来。
the gash from the bite got infected, and the farmer early died in agony from septic shock.
农夫被咬过的伤口感染了。最终，他在对感染的恐惧中痛苦地死了。
life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt, the trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up.
生活会往你身上铲土，各种各样的土。从井里出来的办法就是抖掉土，往上走一步。
each of our troubles is a steppingstone. we can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! shake it off and take a step up.
我们的每一个困难都是一块垫脚石。我们只要不停滞、不放弃，就一定能战胜一切困难。抖掉尘土，往上走一步。

A wild donkey once met a tame donkey feeding on a hillside. The wild donkey was thin and small.
有一次，一头野驴看到一头家驴正在山坡上吃草。生活在野 外的野驴又瘦又小。
He spent his life out of doors, sheltering as best he could in the cold weather and eating the sparse hill grass all the year around.
天气寒冷时，它还得努力找个较好的藏身之 处，山上零星的小草就是它平日的食物。
He sometimes had to walk miles to find fresh water and at night there was always danger from prowling wolves.
有时，为了找到干净的 水源解渴它不得不跑到几英里外的地方。晚上还要惕到处觅 食的狼群。
The tame donkey was sleek and fat. During the summer he fed on the rich meadow grass while in winter he was given corn and hay to eat.
可那头家驴却肥肥壮壮的。夏天，牧场里丰美的鲜草可以任 它享用：冬天，有人为它准备了谷物和千草，
There was always a pail of fresh water for him to drink and at night he was shut safely in a stable. ”How lucky you are,“ said the wild donkey, ”I wish I could live like you.'
而且总有一桶它可 以随时饮用的干净水：晚上，它可以在牲口棚里放心地过夜。怕你太幸运了，一野驴说，-我真羡慕你那种生活。
A few days later the wild donkey was once more foraging on the hillside. Looking down he saw the tame donkey walking slowly along the road, carrying a heavy load of wood.
数天后，野驴又来到山坡上吃草。它俯身向山下望去，看到人家驴正驮着沉重的木头，缓慢地沿着路边走着。
As he watched, the tame donkey paused to enrich at a thistle growing by the roadside, immediately his driver began to shout and to beat him with a stick.
驴想停下来吃路边的蓟草，赶驴人马上对它大吼，并用棍子抽打它。我不想过你那样的生活了，“
I've changed my mind about your way of life, thought the wild donkey” .I see that you have to pay heavily for the corn and hay they gives you.'
野驴心想，舯我终于知道了，要得到主人的谷物和干草，你必须付出沉重的代价。
A blind ass, which had undertaken a long journey, wandered from the road into a forest.
一头瞎眼的驴子在长途跋涉时迷了路，走进了森林。
As the night came on, our foolish fellow went so far into the thicket that it couldn't move either backward or forward; and even one who had eyes would have been unable to get out of that difficulty. But an owl, by good luck, happened to be in the neighbourhood, and offered to act as a guide to the ass.
夜幕降临时，这头蠢驴钻进了灌木丛，进退不得。就是视力好的动物也没有办法摆脱这个困境。幸运的是，一只猫头鹰恰好在附近，它乐意为驴子当向导。
We all know how well owls see at night. Hills, hillocks, precipices—all these our owl distinguished as if it had been daylight.By daybreak, it had made its way with the ass to the level road.
众所周知，猫头鹰在夜间视力很好，斜坡啦、山丘啦、悬崖啦——它都能辨认出来，就像在白天一样。黎明时分，它已领着驴子来到了平地上。
Now, how could any one part with such a guide？ So the ass entreated the owl not to desert it, and determined to visit the whole world in the owl's company.
现在，谁愿意离开这么好的向导呢？于是驴子恳求猫头鹰不要撇下它，驴子决意与它结伴一同环游世界。
Our owl seated itself like a lord on the back of the ass, and the two friends began to continue their journey.
猫头鹰像君主般端坐在驴背上，这两个好朋友继续它们的旅行。
But did it prosper？ No. The sun had scarcely begun to glow in the morning sky, when a greater than nocturnal darkness hid everything from the owl's eyes. But our owl is obstinate; it directs the ass at random.
但是，这能行得通吗？不能。清晨，太阳刚刚放射出光芒，猫头鹰眼前就出现了比夜幕还黑的黑暗，什么也看不见了。可是，它一意孤行，随意地指挥着驴子。
“Take care！”it cries,“We shall tumble into a pool, if we go to the right.”
“小心，”猫头鹰喊道，“要是往右走，我们会掉进池塘里去的。”
There was really no pool on the right; but on the left there was even worse.
实际上，右边根本没有什么池塘，左边的情况反而更糟。
“Keep more to the left—another pace to the left！”
“再往左边一点儿，往左迈一步。”
And, the owl and the ass fell into the ravine together.
结果，猫头鹰和驴一起掉进了深谷。
黔这个地方本来没有驴，有一个喜欢多事的人用船载运了一头驴进入黔地。运到后却没有什么用处，就把它放到山下。一只老虎看见它，觉得它是一个巨大的家伙，把它当做神物，便隐藏在树林里偷偷地看它。过了一会儿老虎才渐渐地出来接近它，小心翼翼地观察它，不知道它是个什么东西。
有一天，驴叫了一声，老虎非常害怕，便逃到远处，认为它将要咬自己，非常恐惧。
可是老虎又来来回回地观察它，觉得它没有什么特别的本领似的；老虎逐渐熟悉了驴的叫声，又走近了一些，出现在它的身前身后，但始终不敢进攻它。老虎又渐渐靠近驴，态度亲近而不庄重，不断碰撞、挨近、冲撞、冒犯驴，驴非常愤怒，就用蹄子踢老虎。
老虎于是很高兴，心里盘算这件事说：“驴的本领只不过如此罢了！”
于是跳跃起来大声吼叫，咬断了驴的喉管，吃光了它的肉，方才离开。
这个故事生动地说明，世界上有很多东西貌似很强大，样子很可怕，但其实没有什么可怕的。
也比喻一个人不能只靠自己强大的外表取胜，而更应该注重真才实学。
