A CRAB said to her son, "Why do you walk so one-sided, my child?

It is far more becoming to go straight forward."

The young Crab replied:"Quite true, dear Mother; and if you will show me the straight way, I will promise to walk in it."

The Mother tried in vain, and submitted without remonstrance to the reproof of her child.



一只螃蟹对她的儿子说：“我的孩子，你为什么还要横着走呢，现在都向前直着走了。”

小螃蟹回答说：“不错，妈妈，如果你给我演示怎么直着走，我保证我会去做的。”

螃蟹妈妈极力尝试，却没有成功，于是她不再为难小螃蟹了。



寓意：



Example is more powerful than precept。

身教胜于言教
