中國寓言故事雙語版 第89期:一孔之見

ing-bottom: 28.54%;">

Once upon a time, there was a bird-catcher who liked to cast a net to catch birds.

古時候，有個捕鳥的人，喜歡張網捕鳥。

One day, seeing that birds would fly past, he immediately cast his net and waited patiently.

一天，他看見鳥兒將要從這裏飛過，於是立刻佈下了羅網，耐心地等待。

After a while, a bird came as expected, and was caught by him at once.

一會兒，鳥兒果然飛來了，一下子就被他捕獲了。

The bird-catcher drew in the net and found that the bird had been caught in one mesh.

捕鳥人收網一看，發現鳥被縛在一隻網眼裏。

He thought that, such being the case, one mesh would be enough.

他想，原來只要一個網眼就行了。

Therefore, he especially made a net with only one mesh, cast it in the same place and waited in high spirits.

於是，他就專門製作了一張只有一個眼孔的網，再拿到原處張起網來，興致勃勃地等待着。

However, he never caught another bird thereafter.

然而，從此以後，他再也沒有捕到過一隻鳥。
