中文故事

夜莺站在一棵大树上,唱着美妙的歌曲。
这时,一只饥饿的鹞子看见了她,立刻飞过去抓住了她。
夜莺感到非常害怕,她知道自己可能会被鹞子吃掉。
于是,她请求鹞子放过她,并告诉鹞子,她的身体太小,根本填不满鹞子的肚子。
如果鹞子真的饿了,应该去寻找更大的鸟来吃。
然而,鹞子却回答说:“我为什么要放弃手中已经抓到的食物,而去追求那些我看不见的东西呢?那样做岂不是傻瓜吗?”
最后,夜莺还是被鹞子吃掉了。
这个故事告诉我们一个道理:有些人总是贪心不足,为了追求更多的利益,而放弃已经得到的东西。
这种行为是愚蠢的,我们应该珍惜自己所拥有的,不要过于贪婪。

英文故事

The nightingale stood on a tall tree, singing a beautiful song.
At this moment, a hungry kite saw her and immediately flew over to catch her.
The nightingale felt very scared. She knew that she might be eaten by the kite.
So, she begged the kite to let her go and told the kite that her body was too small to fill the kite's stomach.
If the kite was really hungry, it should look for bigger birds to eat.
However, the kite replied, "Why should I give up the food in my hand and pursue something I can't see? Wouldn't that be foolish?"
In the end, the nightingale was eaten by the kite.
This story teaches us a lesson: Some people are always greedy and willing to give up what they already have in order to pursue more benefits.
Such behavior is foolish. We should cherish what we have and not be too greedy.
