The Statue


雕像




Once there lived a man among the hills, who possessed a statue wrought by an ancient master,at lay at his door face downward and he was not mindful of it.


从前,一个住在山里的人家有一座雕像,是古代的一位大师雕刻的。雕像脸朝下倒在门前,他根本没在意。

One day there passed by his house a man from the city, a man of knowledge, and seeing thestatue he inquired of the owner if he would sell it.
一天,从城里来了一位学识渊博的人,在经过他家门前时,看见了雕像,便问主人愿不愿意将它卖掉。

The owner laughed and said, "and pray who would want to buy that dull and dirty stone?"
主人笑着说:“请问是谁要买这块又脏又硬的石头呀?"

The man from the city said, "I will give you this piece of silver for it." And the other man wasastonished and delighted.

The statue was removed to the city, upon the back of an elephant.

And after many months the man from the hills visited the city, and as he walked the streets hesaw a crowd before a shop, and a man with a loud voice was crying, "
雕像被一头大象背到了城里。几个月后,山里人迸城,当他在大街上闲逛时,看见一群入围在一个小店前。有一个人大声吆喝道:
