禿鷲的視力-少兒兩分鐘英語(yǔ)故事

字號(hào):

It was said that the eye of the vulture could see everything clearly as he gazed down from highabove.
    A vulture once bragged to the crow, "No one's eyesight can be better than mine."
    "You're just boasting about your eyesight without any evidence," said the crow. "If it were so,then tell me what you can see in the wilderness."
    The vulture answered, "Don't mock me when I say this, that there is a wheat grain in thewasteland of the wilderness?"
    The crow was skeptical over what the vulture said, so both of them flew down towards thatplace to have a look.
    As the vulture's position was just above the grain* a net was cast from above and he wastrapped.
    It never occurred to the vulture that he could be trapped as he prepared to peck at the grain.
    The crow sighed and said, "Oh vulture, what is the use if you can see the small grain but couldnot see the trap set up by the enemy?"
    Trapped in the net, the vulture was resigned to his fate. He said, "One cannot escape losinghis life in a vast and boundless ocean* no matter how good a swimmer he is.
    據(jù)說(shuō),禿鷲從高處向下俯視,一切都能清楚地盡收眼底。
    一次,禿鷲對(duì)烏鴉吹噓:“誰(shuí)的視力也不如我的好。”
    烏鴉說(shuō):"空口無(wú)憑,既然你夸耀自己的眼力,那請(qǐng)說(shuō)說(shuō)在曠野上你看到了什么東西? "
    禿鷲答:¨我若說(shuō)出來(lái)你可別笑我,有一顆麥粒掉落在曠野的 土地上。"
    烏鴉聽(tīng)了心中置疑。于是它們一同往下飛去看個(gè)究竟。
    當(dāng)禿鷲飛到那顆麥粒上方時(shí),忽然背后有一張大網(wǎng)撒了下來(lái),它被罩住了。
    禿鷲萬(wàn)萬(wàn)沒(méi)想到就在它啄那顆麥粒的時(shí)候,卻被罩住了。
    烏鴉嘆息道:“禿鷲啊,你看到麥粒有何用7你卻看不到敵人 設(shè)置的陷阱。"
    而那落人獵入網(wǎng)中的禿鷲感嘆著它的命運(yùn)。它說(shuō):“在一片浩瀚無(wú)際的大海里,再高明的游泳者也在劫難逃"
