The Neighbour and the Snake
A snake, having made his hole close to the door of a cottage, inflicted1 a sever2 bite on the cottager's little son. So the child died.
This caused much sorrow to his parents. The father decided3 to kill the snake. The next day, on its coming out of its hole for food, he took up his ax, but, making too much haste to hit the snake, missed its head, and cut off only the end of its tail.
After some time the cottager, lest the snake should also bite him, tried to make peace, and placed some bread and salt beside its hole, the snake, slightly hissing4, said, "From now on there can be no peace between us; for whenever I see you I shall remember the loss of my tail, and whenever you see me you will be thinking of the death of your son."
No one truly forgets injuries in the presence of him who caused the injury.
有條蛇在一家農舍的門邊打了個洞，并把主人的'小孩咬了一口，孩子就一命嗚呼。
這對夫婦痛不欲生。孩子的父親決意弄死那條蛇。第二天，當蛇出洞覓食之時，他舉起斧頭就砍那條蛇。可惜太操之過急，沒砍中蛇頭，只砍斷了尾巴。
過了一陣子，屋主很害怕那條蛇會以牙還牙，就想同蛇講和，于是就將一些面包和鹽放在洞口。那條蛇發出絲絲的聲音作出回答：“從今以后，在我們之間不會有和平。因為我一看到你，就會想自己被砍掉的尾巴;同樣當你見到我時， 你會想起你死去的兒子。”
面對傷害過自己的人，我們難以真正忘記有過的創痛。
