战马和磨坊主
The Charger and the Miller
一匹战马年老力衰，已经没有往日的威风，于是不得不离开战场，去磨坊推磨。面对繁重的工作，这匹老马难免为自己的不幸而感慨。“唉，”老马对磨坊主说，“我以前驰骋沙场，有专人照料我的生活，是多么威风！可现在呢，我究竟做错了什么，要每天来回推动这些磨盘。”磨坊主答道：“不要再回忆过去的光辉岁月了，生活总是有高潮有低谷的，凡夫俗子应该要乐天知命，心平气和地面对一切吧！”
生活不会总是一帆风顺的。
A Charger，feeling the infirmities of age，was sent to work in a mill instead of going out to battle. But when he was compelled to grind instead of serving in the wars，he bewailed his change of fortune and called to mind his former state，saying，“Ah！Miller，I had indeed to go campaigning before，but I was barbed from counter to tail，and a man went along to groom me；and now I cannot understand what ailed me to prefer the mill before the battle.”“Forbear，” said the Miller to him，“harping on what was of yore，for it is the common lot of mortals to sustain the ups and downs of fortune.”
