1、The House of 1000 Mirrors

Long ago in a small, faraway village, there was a place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he bounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and friendly. As he left the House, he thought to himself,“This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit it often.” In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself,“That is a horrible place, and I will never go backthere again.” All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kinds of reflections do you see in the faces of the people you meet?

千鏡之屋

很久以前的一個很遠的小村莊裏，有一個以“千鏡屋”而著名的地方。一隻樂觀的小狗聽説了這個地方並決定去參觀。當來到這個地方，他蹦蹦跳跳地上了台階，來到房門口，高高地豎起耳朵，歡快地搖着尾巴，從門口往裏張望，他驚奇地看到有1000只歡樂的小狗像他一樣快地搖尾巴。他燦爛地微笑着，回報他的是1000張熱情，友好的燦爛笑臉。離開時他心想：“這是一個精彩的地方，我一定要經常來參觀。” 在這個村裏還有另一隻想參觀“千鏡屋”的小狗，他不及第一隻小狗樂觀，他慢吞吞地爬上台階，然後耷拉着腦袋往屋子裏看。一看到有1000只小狗不友好地盯着他，他便開始衝他們狂吠，鏡中的1000只小狗也衝着他狂吠，把他給嚇壞了，他在離開時心想：“這是一個恐怖的地方，我再也不會來了。” 世界上所有的臉都是鏡子，在你所遇見的人的臉上你看到反射出來的是什麼?

2、It happened that a Dog had got a piece of meat and was carrying it home in his mouth to eat it in peace. Now, on his way home he had to cross a plank lying across a running brook. As he crossed, he looked down and saw his own shadow reflected in the water beneath. Thinking it was another dog with another piece of meat, he made up his mind to have that also. So he made a snap at the shadow in the water, but as he opened his mouth the piece of meat fell out, dropped into the water and was never seen more.

Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow.

【參考譯文】

一隻狗嘴裏銜着一塊肉，走過一條河上面的橋，看見他自己在水裏的影子，以為是另一隻狗，那時狗銜着的肉，比他自己的還要大一倍，因此他仍掉自己的那一塊，狠狠地撲向那隻狗，想奪到那一塊較大的肉。結果兩頭都落了空，因為他想要抓取在水中的那一塊，只不過是一個影子，而原來的那一塊，也被水沖走了。

謹記，切莫因追逐幻影而丟失已有的東西。

表演大師

有一位表演大師上場前，他的弟子告訴他鞋帶鬆了。大師點頭致謝，蹲下來仔細繫好。等到弟子轉身後，又蹲下來將鞋帶解鬆。有個旁觀者看到了這一切，不解地問：“大師，您為什麼又要將鞋帶解鬆呢?”大師回答道：“因為我飾演的是一位勞累的旅者，長途跋涉讓他的鞋事鬆開，可以通過這個細節表現他的勞累憔悴.”“那你為什麼不直接告訴你的弟子呢?”“他能細心地發現我的鞋帶鬆了，並且熱心地告訴我，我一定要保護他這種熱情的積極性，及時地給他鼓勵，至於為什麼要將鞋帶解開，將來會有更多的機會教他表演，可以下一次再説啊。”

這個故事説明了：人一個時間只能做一件事，懂抓重點，才是真正的人才。
