从前，有一个勤劳的农夫。
他住在一个安静的小村庄里，每天辛勤地耕作着自己的田地。
然而，有一天，他的生活发生了巨大的变化。
一条毒蛇悄悄溜进了农夫的家，咬死了农夫心爱的儿子。
农夫悲痛欲绝，他抓起一把斧头，怒气冲冲地跑到了蛇洞外。
只要蛇一出洞，他就准备用斧头砍死它，为儿子报仇。
过了不久，蛇从洞里钻了出来。
农夫看见了，立即挥动斧头向蛇砍去。
可是，他没有砍到蛇，反而把洞边的一块石头劈成了两半。
看到这个结果，农夫开始担心自己可能会有后患，于是他决定与蛇和解。
他对蛇说：“我知道我们之间有很大的仇恨，但我希望我们可以和平共处。”
但是，蛇却回答道：“我一看见那被你劈开的石头，就不可能对你产生好感；同样，你一见到你儿子的坟墓也不会原谅我。”
这个故事告诉我们，深仇大恨是很难化解的。
我们要学会珍惜和平，尽量避免制造仇恨，因为仇恨会带来更多的痛苦和不幸。
Once upon a time, there was a hardworking farmer.
He lived in a quiet little village and worked diligently on his fields every day.
However, one day, his life took a drastic turn.
A venomous snake sneaked into the farmer's house and bit his beloved son, killing him.
The farmer was overwhelmed with grief. He grabbed an axe and stormed outside to the snake's hole filled with anger.
As soon as the snake came out of the hole, he was ready to chop it down with the axe to avenge his son.
Before long, the snake slithered out of the hole.
The farmer saw it and swung his axe at the snake immediately.
But instead of hitting the snake, he split a rock beside the hole in half.
Upon seeing this outcome, the farmer started worrying about potential consequences and decided to reconcile with the snake.
He said to the snake, "I know there is great hatred between us, but I hope we can live in peace."
But the snake replied, "Every time I see the rock you split in half, I cannot feel any goodwill towards you; just as when you see your son's grave, you will not forgive me."
This story teaches us that deep hatred is hard to resolve.
We should learn to cherish peace and avoid creating hatred whenever possible because hatred brings more pain and misfortune.
