一隻老鷹在天空翱翔的時候,突然有人一箭射中了老鷹,那箭紮入老鷹的身上,老鷹的生命力隨著血液不斷流逝,最後老鷹掉在地上,此時帶著鷹毛的箭翎卻出現在老鷹的眼前。他望著羽翎說:“我自己的羽毛害死了我,這種痛苦更難以忍受。”
【寓言啟示】
因自己的原因而受害,那痛苦更令人難受。

An Aesop's Fable
An Eagle was soaring through the air when suddenly it heard the whizz of an Arrow, and felt itself wounded to death. Slowly it fluttered down to the earth, with its life-blood pouring out of it. Looking down upon the Arrow with which it had been pierced, it found that the shaft of the Arrow had been feathered with one of its own plumes.
"Alas!" it cried, as it died:
Moral of Aesops Fable: We often give our enemies the means for our own destruction.
