THE OWL MEETS THE RINGDOVE
An owl met a ringdove. The ringdove said：“ Where are you about to go ？” The owl said：“ I am about to move to the east.” The ringdove said：“ For what reason are you moving？” The owl said：“ The villagers all detest that I screech； for that reason I am moving to the east.” The ringdove said：“ If you can change the sound of your cry， it will be all right； if you cannot change the sound of your cry， even if you move to the east， the villagers will still detest your sound.”
