There was once a Blind Man who had so fine a sense of touch that, when any animal was put into his hands, he could tell what it was merely by the feel of it. One day the Cub of a Wolf was put into his hands, and he was asked what it was. He felt it for some time, and then said, “Indeed, I am not sure whether it is a Wolf's Cub or a Fox's: but this I know—it would never do to trust it in a sheepfold.”
Evil tendencies are early shown.
有一個盲人,他的觸覺十分靈敏,任何動物只要放到他手里,他摸一摸,就能知道那是什么。有一天,有人將一只狼崽放到了他手里,問他那是什么。他考慮了一下,才說:“我的確不太肯定這是狼崽還是狐貍崽子,但是我知道,這東西絕對不能放到羊圈里?!?/p>
訓誡:防微杜漸,將危險扼殺于萌芽中。
