The Friends\' "Help"
Mr Brown\'s horse was stolen at night. All of his friends were very sorry about it and came to see him together. After they had been told about it, one of them said, "Why didn\'t you lock the door of your stable last night? I think that it had something to do with your horse being stolen.
"You aren\'t a deaf man," the second complained. "Didn\'t you hear anything at that moment? The thief must have carried it away on his back! "
"I agree with them, " blamed the third. "How careless you are! Every evening, before I go to bed, I lock my stable first and hide the key in my box. Why didn\'t you do so?"
The more they said, the more excited they became. At last Mr Brown couldn\'t bear any more and said angrily,"I\'m glad that you have come to see me. But none of you would help me either look for my horse or catch the thief. Do you think that it\'s all my fault? Why don\'t you blame the thief?"
本篇的主旨要点:会说风凉话,不去救助的,算不得真朋友。 |
