The mouse 老鼠

4

A philosophical mouse spoke loudly in praise of nature's goodness for having made the mice such particular objects of her concern and protection.

"For," she said, "one half of us is provided by her with wings, so that if all here below were killed by cats, she could easily restore our extinguished race by means of the bats."

The good little mouse didn't know that there were also flying cats and thus does our pride chiefly rest on ignorance.

一只超然豁达的老鼠高声颂扬大自然的仁厚,赞美它对鼠辈们所给予的特别的关爱。

老鼠说:“自然之神赋予我们这个种族中一半的成员以翅膀。就算猫将地上所有的老鼠杀戮,自然之手借助飞天蝙蝠不费吹灰之力就能恢复我们这个灭绝的种族。”

这只善良的小老鼠不知道天上还有飞猫,不难看出骄傲源于无知。
