Waiting for Hares (adapted from a Chinese fable)守株待兔
There once was a farmer who laboured in his fields all year round.
One day, as he was working, a hare came out of the bushes. Frightened at the sight of the farmer, the hare started to run. It ran so fast that it smashed into a tree and died.
The farmer brought the hare home. He enjoyed a wonderful meal with his wife.
The next day, the farmer did not work as hard as before. He turned his eyes to the bushes from time to time, hoping to see another hare.
从前有个农夫,他整天在地里干活。
有一天,他在地里干活的时候,一只兔子从草丛中冲出来了。看到农夫后,兔子被吓坏了开始跑。它跑得太快了,结果一头撞到树上死了。
农夫把兔子拿回家里,和他的老婆饱餐了一顿。
第二天,农夫干活就不像以前那么努力了。他的眼睛时不时的盯着草丛,希望再看到一只兔子。
The whole day passed and the farmer didn't see another hare. He didn't get much work done either.
The third day, the farmer was not in the mood to work in the fields anymore. He put his tools aside and sat near the tree. There, he waited for another hare. Again, no hare appeared.
From then on, every day, the farmer waited beside the tree. Days passed, and not a single hare showed up. Meanwhile, his fields became deserted and nothing grew on them.
一整天过去了,农夫再也没有看到兔子。他也没干多少活。
第三天,农夫再也不想干活了。他把农具放到一边,坐在树下。在那等着兔子的出现。再一次,没有一只兔子出现。
从那时开始,农夫每天都在树下等。一天天过去了,再也没有兔子出现。同时,他的地里因为没人干活都荒芜了,一点收成都没有。
