很多山羊被牧羊人趕到羊圈里。有一只山羊不知在吃什么好東西,單獨落在了后面。牧羊人拿起一塊石頭扔了過去,正巧打斷了山羊的一只角。牧羊人嚇得請求山羊不要告訴主人,山羊說:“即使我不說,又怎能隱瞞下去呢?我的角已斷了,這是十分明顯的事實。”
這故事說明,明顯的罪狀是無法隱瞞的。
A GOATHERD had SOUght to bring baek astray goat to his flock.He whistled andsounded his horn in Vain;the straggler paid no attention tothe summons.At last the Goatherd threw a stone.andbreaking its horn,begged the Goat not to teH his master.The Goat.eplied,“Why,you silly flellow,the horn willspeak though I be silent.”
Do not attempt to hide things which cannot be hid.
